Teachers and Educational Assistants in Partnership Term Paper by Top Papers

The paper discusses how inclusive classroom engagement of students with special needs is not only a goal of students' parents, but of the educational community itself. The paper explains, however, that a transition towards true inclusivity has been challenging for both researchers and educators. The paper looks at how Warner suggests that the disconnect may lie in the paucity of interest and training in special needs in teacher education itself, and as teacher curricula ignores or sidelines special education, inclusion itself becomes discredited. The paper asserts that whether or not this will continue to be true as teacher curricula develops, Warner's central point is still valid: teachers may need support in order to create an inclusionary classroom that speaks to the needs of all students.
