“Any institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions.” -Simon Mainwaring. These type of notions are alien to the United States Army which in my opinion runs as an institution. Some institutions like the United States Army seldom listen to new and challenging ideas. However, if all…

Should quizzes and test be done to see what a person knows could be good and bad. Also having people write essays and papers could be good and bad. I think each person needs to be evaluated to see how a person learns. There are three types of ways that could hinder learning. The first is a learning disability called dyslexia. Then second there are visual learners. And last they are people who have test anxiety. First there is dyslexia. Many people are faced with a disability which can…

Inclusion is a concept that has become a commonplace in general education classrooms. Inclusion is the practice of incorporating special education students into general education classrooms to promote a least restrictive learning environment for students. To help make this a success for both students and teachers there needed to be a framework to follow to allow all students to reach the curriculum. This framework deemed best practice for teachers was Universal Design for Learning (UDL).…

The Most Insurgent Scientist Many people have heard of Einstein, “he’s the really smart guy with the crazy hair.” Yes, he is that, but he is so much more than just the picture students see of him in their science classes. Einsteins is one, if not the, most influential scientific figures this world has ever seen. Walter Isaacson delves deep into Einstein's life to tell us that he is more than just the commercialized image we see him as today. Einstein His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson…

An inclusive community is one that not only accepts but fully embraces people who are different from its majority population and one that uses these differences to improve itself. I believe the driving force behind such a community is open-mindedness: the ability of community members to respectfully challenge each other and their beliefs as well as to empathize with each others' struggles and successes. A group of people that are constantly communicating, respectfully debating, and in the…

definition of inclusion is the state of being included in a group or structure. Which is basically saying that it is when someone is being included in to something. An example is when a child who is getting special education services is also included in the general education courses along with the special education services they are also receiving. The goal of inclusion is to make the child feel like any other student and not to feel different from everyone. b. Multi-tiered approaches help to…

Will the laws of special and general relativity have limits that we can overcome? With our dying earth caused by our human mass consumption of fossil fuels are ruining our planet. We will start looking others to begin anew. But, the problem is getting there. With…

The reasons why equity and flexibility are essential components of inclusion is that the combination of the two make an environment rich in learning for those who are needing to use it and it allows for the expansion of utilizing what is that for multiple purposes, not just one. One example of a strategy a preschool teacher can use to ensure that their environments support these key practices is to first look at the physical and mental age of all the children in the classroom, then look…

Danforth highlights that inclusive education is increasing at immense speeds. Data from the Individuals with Disabilities Act illustrates that “by 2011, over 61% of all students with disabilities were highly included” (Danforth, 2014, p. 5) within school systems. Although inclusive education is trending upward, there are still overwhelming tensions and challenges educators must recognize prior to a complete switch to inclusivity. Transitioning from a general education classroom to an inclusive…
