Salamanca Statement
4
All students should learn together

• We partly agree with the statement. We feel that
  children with a handicap who can work on the same
  level with the other children (without changing
  the curriculum) can be included in a regular
  school.
• The children with other handicaps who cant work
  on the same level should be in special schools.

5
Inclusion will change attitudes

• Inclusion will only succeed if the teacher has an
  open mind and can handle diversity. If the
  teacher has the feeling that the child doesnt
  fit in and isnt capable to stay in the regular
  school, the teacher must have the opportunity to
  discuss this with the parents and send the child
  to a special school.

6
Special schools are useful

• We agree with this statement. We feel that the
  expertise and experiences of the teachers in
  special schools are very useful to the children
  with a disability who cant work on the same
  level as their classmates.
• The programs in special schools are especially
  for children with different disabilities. The
  classes are smaller, so theres more attention
  for one child.

7
Inclusion needs a different way of working with
the curriculum

• We agree with the statement. When you have a
  child in your class with a disability, you have
  to change your way of teaching.
• You cant set the same goals for children with
  special needs, because they cant live up to
  them.
• The teachers have to be well prepared and they
  have to know the background of the children with
  special needs.

8
Inclusion is teamwork

• If you got an inclusive school there must be a
  schoolwork plan with a lot of information about
  how to work with inclusion.
• All teachers must be able to teach children with
  special needs.
• All parties like parents, other teachers etc.
  have to have an open mind towards each other
  about the child with special needs.

9
Inclusion needs a correct view on persons with
disabilities

• We believe you have to be an objective teacher at
  all times, but especially when you work with
  children with an handicap.
• You have to look at the potential of each child
  instead of looking at their impairments.

10
Inclusion is possible in adult life

• We believe inclusion is possible in adult life.
  The society has to adapt his standards, but since
  we all take part of the society this can be done!
• The transition from school to adult working life
  has to be effective.

11
Parents are partners in inclusive education

• We agree with this statement. Parents play a very
  important role in the inclusive process of their
  child in the mainstream school.
• Parents know whats best for their child, so they
  want the best for their child by taking part in
  the process of putting their child in an
  inclusive school.
• Parents have to be involved at all times.

12
The specific competences a teacher needs working
in an inclusive setting
13
Based on quality of life and wellbeing of each
child and each life environment

• Its important for each child to feel save within
  the school environment.
• Its the teachers responsibility to make sure
  every child has friends. This means the inclusive
  child needs a little bit more help from the
  teacher at this point. The teacher can use the
  buddy-system for this.

14
Need of support and class-practice with
differentiation

• Differentiation is a very important item in
  education. We think remedial teaching is a good
  form of differentiation.
• Working together as a group helps children to
  develop social skills.
• We dont think differentiation always has to take
  place in the classroom, but whats most suitable
  at the time.

15
Communicate with parents

• There has to be a good communication stream with
  parents, teachers, MD-team and other parties
  involved.
• All these parties have to be able to communicate
  with each other at all times through meetings
  etc.
• The communication has to be objective.

16
Coordination with colleges and other caring-people

• Its essential for the colleges and other
  caring-people to have a good coordination between
  them. We think this is of most important, because
  people who work with children have to be
  interested and involved by (inclusive) children.

17
Correct vision on problems and handicaps

• The important thing of a teacher of an inclusive
  class is to know where the problems lay with each
  child, so the teacher can be of best help for the
  child.
• You have to have organisation skills, know how to
  use the right methods, didactic materials etc.

18
Our conclusion about inclusion

• We as a group think inclusion has his good sights
  and his less sights. We think you have to take
  one child at a time and base your decision to put
  it on a regular school on the situation of the
  child.
• We think special schools are very important,
  because of the expertise and the experience of
  the teachers.

19

• When there is inclusion in your class the most
  important questions are
• - How does the disabled child feel?
• - How does the teacher feel?
• - How do the rest of the children of
• the class feel?

How we felt about the inclusion project

• We learned a lot about inclusion, also about
  inclusion in different countries.
• We are able to form an objective opinion about
  inclusion.
• We had a lot of fun during this project with all
  the different people and the visits to the
  primary schools.
