What do you mean by Special Education? 2. What is Inclusive Education? 1. Definition of Inclusive Education Inclusive Education means: Reaching out to all learners. Addressing and responding to diversity needs of children, youth and adults. Involves changes and modification in content, approaches, structures and strategies. 1. Definition of Inclusive Education Inclusive Education is about putting the right to education into action by including all learners, respecting their diverse needs, abilities and characteristics, and eliminating all forms of discrimination in the learning environment ( UNESCO, 2009). 1. Definition of Inclusive Education Inclusive Education is the process of strengthening the capacity of the education system to reach out to all learners (UNESCO, 2017). 1. Definition of Inclusive Education Inclusive Education DepEd Order No. 21 s. 2019 also known as the Policy Guidelines on the K to 12 Basic Education Program: -as an Inclusive curriculum, it is learner-centered, developmentally appropriate, culture- sensitive, relevant, gender- responsive and contextualized. - Teachers: the primary implementers of inclusive education as they address the diverse needs of the learners. 1. Definition of Inclusive Education Philippine Inclusive Education - a process where all types of learners with diverse needs are given equal opportunities for a meaningful life in non- discriminatory environments. These environments foster belongingness through culturally or spiritually sensitive, learner-centered curriculum, learning processes, delivery modes, and settings ( Bustos, et.al 2014, p.19 ) Inclusive Education means: - a learning environment where children with and without disabilities are taught together as equals. -this approach is different to more traditional approaches to the education of children with disabilities that involve segregating CWD’s into separate classes or even separate schools. Inclusion means: I- NTEGRATION N- ETWORKING C- COLLABORATION L- IVING, LEARNING, LOVING U-TILIZING ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES S- UPPORT AND SOCIAL SERVICES I- MPLEMENTATION OF APPROPRIATE PROGRAMS O- RGANIZATION OF APPROPRIATE SERVICES N- ON STOP SERVICES TO ALL Inclusive Education means providing for the diverse educational needs of: *children and adults in remote areas *working children or adults *children or adults with disabilities *children/adults in difficult circumstances because of their culture * children with diseases such as HIV/AIDS * children of migrant workers or Inclusive Education in the Philippines 1. Children with disabilities (CWD’s) who are in school - about 101, 762 (2010- 2011) Children with disabilities are still combating EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION 97.3 % of them are STILL UNREACHED About 5,916 are MAINSTREAMED IN REGULAR CLASSES 2. Children of INDIGENOUS PEOPLES - about 12-15 million across the country. *They are spread in seven ethnographic areas with 117 ethno-linguistic groups. Elementary schools : 639,483 Secondary :158,550 (2010- 2011) 3.

Special Education (SpEd) -classes or instruction designed for students with disabilities , giftedness and talents, apart from their same- aged peers. (Custodio, Nalipay 2021). 1.1. Special Education Needs – an educational program/ service designed to meet the needs of children with special needs who cannot profit from general or regular education because of disabilities or exceptional abilities. Ex. CWD’s or CSN in SPED classes - a term used in some countries to refer to children with impairments that are seen as requiring additional support (UNESCO, 2017). Related Concepts of Inclusive Education Mainstreaming- is the practice of educating students with learning challenges in regular classes , in the least restrictive environment and based on their skills. Integration- refers to the creation of spaces such as regular classrooms, special education classrooms or pull out services for diverse learners. A school that admits learners with disabilities and combines them with regular pupils in the regular classroom is said to perform integration. Related Concepts of Inclusive Education Transition- is movement from one activity to another. It is the period of time when teachers direct students to end one task or activity and begin another. It can also be a movement from one grade level to a higher level, from one school to another, from one program to another or from school to the world of work and community. Inherent in the concept of transition for special education is the ultimate goal of moving toward NORMALIZATION (Danocup,O.B. 2010). Related Concepts of Inclusive Education Equality- it is where everyone is given the same support with the assumption that once all children are provided with the same opportunities, everyone of them were catered properly. However, Equality does not mean equity because every child is different. Equity- refers to fairness in every situation. Additional information: sent to GC 2. VMGO of Inclusive Education DepEd Vision We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and competencies enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation. As a learner-centered public institution, the Department of Education continuously improves itself to better serve its stakeholders. Mission DEPED MISSION To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education where: Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment. Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner. Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen. Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing life-long learners. Goal 1. Inclusive education aims to mainstream students with special needs in a flexible learning environment for acquiring quality education that optimizes their potential for holistic development. This goal depends upon teachers who can attain inclusivity in the educational system by shaping positive values, providing knowledge, and developing the skills of exceptional students to cope with life's challenges. Goal 2.

Inclusive Education in Other Countries Infants and toddlers, birth through age 2, with disabilities and their families receive early intervention services (under IDEA Part C ). Children and youth ages 3 through 21 receive special education and related services (under IDEA Part B). IDEA- USA Congress reauthorized the IDEA in 2004 and most recently amended the IDEA through Public Law 114-95, the Every Student Succeeds Act, in December 2015. IDEA- United States of America In the law, Congress states: Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society. Improving educational results for children with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self- sufficiency for individuals with disabilities. 2.
