High expectations in inclusion classrooms means that staff can visualize the successful outcomes. Each of the following inclusion rules or norms need to be in place to ensure that INCLUSION RULES!
Inclusion Rules:
1. Be professional.
2. Be compassionate.
3. Be structured.
4. Be aware.
5. Be reflective.
These rules are not complicated, yet their consistent implementation will yield excellent inclusion results for all students, staff, and families. The bottom line: Gimme 5!:-)
