Inclusion Teaching

This is the best form of teaching I found out of all the teaching forms, even with this great technique, we are still faced with many different ways of doing it, there are the good way and the wrong way of teaching through inclusion. In a classroom especially an elementary school where children often want to be heard and praised for their effort children would more than likely learn better when they are included in the classroom discussions they tend to be more proactive in their learning when they have someone listening and paying attention to them. I know this firsthand because when my daughter receives praise from her teachers I see the gleam in her eyes and she tries even harder to please us and her teachers.
There are two ways of including a child into a discussion one is volunteering the second is the worst one is calling on the student. When a teacher ask a question or post a problem on the board, and ask is there any volunteers to solve the problem there are some students that will volunteer, not because they know the answer to the problem or question asked, this is due to a high self-esteem, self esteem plays a major role in a child’s education, these kids would be more popular and excel in their studies, then there are the students that has to be called on, they tend to keep a low profile and are often easily embarrassed due to the lack of self esteem, they would be loners and likes to stay out of sight and live an invisible existence, they usually are very bright in their studies but socially they are outsiders or outcasts feel like they don’t belong anywhere. To allow a child to come out of his or her shell on her own without being pressured or place under the spotlight because they are not ready to be placed under that light at the moment.
Once I’ve become a teacher I would implement the volunteer system, to put my students at ease and make the classroom environment very friendly and not allow any student to pick on one another because I believe in building a child scholastically as well as their social behavior. When a child learns early on how important it is to belong they will make better choices about their lives outside of the school and will be more open to accepting others into their circle and become better students and citizens.
