Champions of Inclusion
“Most of the examples listed above to highlight the salient characteristics of champions of inclusion do not depend upon advanced degrees and training. Although in many instances, special skills are certainly required, in most cases it is the accompanying positive beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors which are most significant. Indeed it is common for those who have been identified as champions of inclusion to state that what they are being recognized for is really quite ordinary.”
-Bill Henderson

Paradigm
Thomas Kuhn (1963) defined a paradigm as a shared world view. These shared views become so strong and institutionalized that only a sudden and dramatic break from these conventional perspectives can bring on a positive revolution in thinking.
David Smith (2003)
![Page 13: INCLUSIVE EDUCATION PLC ELEMENTARY STRAND NOVEMBER 19, 2013 Jennifer Gondek, Instructional Specialist TST BOCES](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649db35503460f94aa2ff8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Prevailing Paradigm
Intelligence is something that can be reliably measured.
Mental retardation is defined as “low levels” of intelligence.
Students who experience mental retardation can’t learn general education content nor benefit much from being in general education classes.
When we aren’t sure that students know….understand….can learn….have something to say…we presume they CAN’T.

What is intelligence?
How do we measure it?

The New Paradigm
Intelligence is not a single characteristic. All people have different skills and
talents. People learn best when they feel valued,
when people hold high expectations for them, and when they are well supported.
The “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” (Donnellan, 2000)

The Least Dangerous Assumption
Anne Donnellan, 1984“The criterion of LDA holds that in the absence of conclusive data, educational decisions ought to be based on assumptions which, if incorrect, will have the least dangerous effect on the likelihood that students will be able to function independently as adults.”

What does research say about expectations, frustration, and self-esteem?Students do report feelings of frustration and low
self-esteem when: They are stigmatized The classroom culture values competitive high
achievement. They do not have friends. They think they are performing more poorly than
their classmates. They are left to flounder in the classroom. They can’t read the material being taught. The instruction doesn’t match their learning style.
