Supporting Inclusion: School Administrators' Perspectives and
Practices provides significant insights that arm the reader with a
variety of ideas and easy-to-implement applicable strategies
gleaned from knowledgeable contemporaries. This book details
various approaches taken by administrators as they transitioned
their schools from a segregated resource environment to an
inclusive framework. From elementary to high school, administrators
in both large and small school districts describe approaches that
best suited their populations' needs. While transitioning to
inclusion, administrators created structures that maximized staff
talent and encouraged faculty buy-in. Challenges included
calendaring collaboration time, providing inclusion and co-teaching
training, properly mentoring first year teachers, securing expert
ancillary staff, retraining paraprofessionals from resource to
inclusive supporting roles, procuring appropriate technology and
supplemental resources, and presenting strategies to accommodate
behaviorally challenged students. Programing often required
shifting populations and leveling classes. Ultimately,
administrators established and sustained inclusive classrooms with
a good deal of success.
