As it relates to the field of special education, I really believe that collaboration is needed to bring together school staff, parents, students, and the community to maximize resources for student achievement and development for all students, including students with disabilities. It is very important to take a collaborative approach in an effort to effectively implement inclusive practices. Additionally, there are various studies on inclusion that have addressed the need for all stakeholders to work cohesively together in such efforts as well as the benefits for students and teachers, challenges found in co-teaching, necessary components for effective co-teaching, and stages of collaboration. In addition, collaboration between general and special educators benefits the quality of instruction and supports for students with disabilities. Students without disabilities benefit, too. Both educators on the co-teaching team are responsible for differentiating the instructional planning and delivery, assessment of student achievement, and classroom management. Through co-teaching they are able to bounce ideas and suggestions off each other that can benefit their students! However, there is always that possibility of disagreement. Nonetheless, I think by keeping an open mind and being open to new ideas, a lot can be done to help students and learning experiences. A collaborative approach can assist with and influence having high expectations for all the students in an inclusive classroom. I believe that two minds working together for a greater cause are a powerful force and wonderful tool. It is important to believe that every student can succeed and if a teacher believes it, the students will as well and they too will be a direct reflection of that. Thus, when students are encouraged to do well, the teacher creates such an environment that motivates each and every student to succeed. Note that students learn best when the teacher is highly motivated and has a positive attitude. Also, it is important to involve the students in the learning process and to motivate the students to be active participants in their learning as well.
According to research, spoken or written communication makes up only a small percentage of the entire communication process. It is interesting how some of us are unaware of our own verbal and/or nonverbal communication habits until someone points them out to us or we videotape ourselves. Words carry messages very strongly - whether written or spoken. Of course, the alternative is also true. If we say something in an improper tone or context, the message comes across more strongly than if spoken and we may not know as quickly that it has happened. The bottom line is that words should be chosen carefully and not during a time when one is angry or upset. Do you think that the use of language is important in the way we communicate? Why or Why not? What role does language play in setting a positive tone? Is it important to be sympathetic? Why or Why not? Please explain.
