(Vize, 2012). The important factor for teachers to remember is to follow the student’s IEP and to know their students’ needs. This will help determine what are the best and most effective evidence-based strategies and what level of mainstream classroom room time is appropriate for their student. Continued communication and collaboration with their student’s support teams will help them determine what is the best source for learning for the student, i.e., general education or special education or…

This is sometimes called Response to…

Complete, coordinated services for students with advanced learning skills require a shared commitment and continuing collaboration between general and gifted education professionals and families. I believe that high quality collaboration does not remove the need for gifted education services or for gifted education specialists, but rather redefines the roles of educators in the plan for serving gifted and talented students. Collaboration calls for joint responsibility for identifying indicators…

Furthermore, there needs to be considerations…

Firstly, I will attempt to define inclusion and what it means to be engaging in…
