INCLUSIVE EDUCATION:
1. How do you implement Inclusive education?
Answer: The learner’s individual differences and abilities surely affect the quality of teaching
and learning processes. They may differ from their races, religions,social stability, and
learning ability etc. We educators must cultivate to their heart and mind highlighting the
peace concept of Inclusivity, wherein, the focal point of this is to let every learners enlighten
and realize the value of unity a midst diversity. In connection to this, effective teaching-andlearning experiences comes from celebrating diversity in the classroom which it models
inclusivity.
Congruently, providing
learning activities and assessment that are all
developmentally appropriate are my utmost priority in implementing Inclusive Education.
From Identifying the needs of students with different levels of abilities in the classroom to
choosing effective strategies to address the diverse needs of the learners such as
differentiated instructions, activities that model respect and acceptance, learning task that
provides more opportunities for cooperation than competition, and more importantly, build
a caring community in the classroom are some of my top approaches that are extremely
helpful in the implementation of inclusive education.
2. Do you have an experience handling a student with Disability?
If yes: Give at least 2 disablities
Answer: In my almost two(2) years in service and even during my In-and-Off campus practice
teaching, I have not handled student with disability. But if I encounter this kind of circumstance/s
I would arduously exert my full efforts in providing necessary strategies to cope up with their
learning needs and abilities. And I would gladly expand my teaching-learning resources through
garnering reliable research study to appropriately address the demand of their developmental
needs in my classroom premises to unfold their full potentials.
3. How do you deal with them in terms of;
 Disciplines
 Strategy
 Visual Aids
If none: ( Hypothetical question) What if you have an experienced handling a student with
Disability, how do you deal with them in terms of;
 Disciplines
Answer: I would also treat them same way as my student now, to experience the reality of
teaching-and-learning realm, although there is a bit distinction but we must not overly
assimilate their disabilities.
Enforcing non-threatening yet business-like approach, has been effective in accords
to disciplining learners. Approach in which, specific classroom rules and procedures are clear
and discussed,techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed,
and clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for
such are communicated. In that,discipline comes from within.
Furthermore,for some who throws tantrums, since they are special this is normally
observed,so extra patience is always our partner in combating the reality inside and outside
the school premises and even in so many earthly related endeavour. In deed, we are built
that way, to be patient.
 Strategy
Answer: No single strategy/assessment/method/tool/task can assess all forms of learning.
Same goes with how we can handle learners with special needs. So, we are highly expected
to elicit variety of teaching and learning strategies to counter this challenging task to achieve
the goal of our educative institution.
Therefore, considering the Gardener’s Multiple of Intelligence in managing and learning
development would be an asset for us to assess and mold our learners. A strategy that offer
different ways which this will empower the use of varied assessment tools and task to
somehow help the special needs of our learners. We knew that given they have special needs,
surely they also have acquire special intelligence within themselves that only need scaffolding
from us, teachers. We must observe varied learning styles which gives and opens opportunity
to our learners to demonstrate learning that is aligned to their multiple intelligences and their
learning style. Letting them makes feel comfortable and having fun while learning and
allowing them to explore their learning style would be the best stepping stone for them to
unveil their highest potentials.
 Visual Aids
Answer: I would apply the theory of Cone of Experiences by Edgar Dale anchored to Garner’s
Multiple Intelligences in selecting appropriate visual aid for my students. Wherein, they are
interconnected in providing and identifying which visual aids must be used.
I viewed visual aids as medium of learning that matches the learning style of a specific
learner. For instance, if the particular special learner has special interest inclined with Bodily
Kinesthetic intelligence thus performing or executing as Cone of Experience relates must be
intertwined to achieve meaningful learning, and you can be the best visual aid for this instance,
you will demonstrate specific skill to the learners first, then let them perform or execute
and/or allow them to master the skill with your support and ultimately transfer of learning
happens. Another instance would be, if you have visually impaired learner and he/she is
linguistically inclined you can enforce an audio-type approach as your aid for learning and it
will definitely help him/her master and advance his/her linguistic-related skill (pronunciation,
vocabulary, sentence construction etc.)
Moreover, for other special needs you can also use power point presentation for those
special learners who easily learn throw images or visual representation to arouse learning. Or
any techno-based visual aid to constantly alleviate learning as this teachno-age generation as
pertains.
Lastly, choose wisely the visual aid that significantly relevant to your learners’ needs.
4. Are this disciplines, strategies, and visual Aids are effective?
 If yes, Why?
Answer: I would say, they will play important role in the effectiveness of the paradigm of
teaching-and learning processes for they are the realities this profession is mirrored to. They are
based from actual experiences in providing meaningful learning so they might be effective as I
hopefully they are.
 If No, What are the reason?
Answer: Might be there are still approaches or method which needs conduct of studies to dig
deeper to resolve the turmoil of the educative milieu as concern. However, I am holding high
hopes that through the evolution of this generation there are resolutions for all of this concerns.
