Extractions: Special Education Inclusion Educators' Bulletin Board Classroom resources IDEAS Resource pages on educational issues ...

At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.
