Classrooms, inclusive

In contrast,Chapter 11 looks at the very recent introduction of computer-based multimedia technologies into chemical education as a way of forging macro/sub-micro/symbolic links.

Their thesis is given added weight by the inclusion of results from classroom development and evaluation projects. 

This book is a synthesis of work by many passionate faculty members who possess similar goals of creating an inclusive classroom environment for their students. We hope that novice and experienced faculty will find valuable ideas in this book and be able to adapt these or to develop their own strategies to enhance the learning experience of all their students. We welcome your comments and suggestions for improving this book. 

Barry s inclusive, collaborative DCM assessment endeavors at MMCC in the last chapter parallel Jane and Maureen s communal assessment methods at UNR in the next. At both institutions, the DCM processes involved multiple in-house stakeholders, and ultimately, led to published reports for external audiences. While Barry s DCM study constructed shared institutional assessment values and tools, Jane and Maureen s DCM study produced mutual general education assessment values and tools. Just as Barry created an assessment model that links programmatic and classroom goals, Jane and Maureen strove to close the loop between administrative and pedagogical objectives. (Stalions)...

The Inclusion Team needs to work with classroom teachers, subject departments and faculties to integrate inclusion best praaice into their work. 

Although this is for primary classrooms it is equally applicable and can be adapted to a secondary classroom setting. Discussion around this with staff will prove helpful for the Inclusion Team to get an insight into how individual staff plan and manage inclusion within their classroom. It can also be used as a training session which could ultimately form the basis of a school policy for classroom and lesson planning.
