Teacher's Lounge Curriculum Article C U R R I C U L U M A R T I C L E Inclusion: Has It Gone Too Far? Inclusion of all children with disabilities in regular classrooms seems to be the law of the land. But is it the right thing for all kids? And how are teachers handling it? Inclusion the idea that all children, including those with disabilities, should and can learn in a regular classroom has taken firm root in many school systems, although it is not specifically required by law. To oppose inclusion would seem to advocate exclusion. Yet, some observers maintain that full inclusion isn't always the best way to meet student needs. Critics of full inclusion ask whether even students with the most severe disabilities benefit from placement in regular classrooms. Further, some outgrowths of inclusion involve rethinking the structure of the regular classroom. Inclusive classes may require more than one teacher. And teachers and students may need specific technology to help students with disabilities perform better.

Home Invest in People / Invest More, Expect More Invest More, Expect More In a decade of prosperity, Governor Leavitt has led aggressive investment in public education. Teachers are better paid, have more time for planning, and have added opportunities for staff development geared to their specific needs. More classrooms are connected to the Internet than ever before and thousands of teachers have computers and related technologies to assist and improve their instruction. The Utah Education Network is a national leader in connecting schools to electronic resources. And, class sizes have been reduced in an effort to create a more personal, individualized approach to learning. In post secondary education, a new system has been created to support applied technology colleges and plans are in place to strengthen and expand these institutions. Major new engineering and science buildings are being designed and constructed to dramatically increase enrollment for future scientists and engineers. Research funding is at an all-time high.
