NASET’s Inclusion Series

10 Challenges Facing Teachers in Inclusion Classrooms

Inclusion co-teaching classrooms, where general education and special education teachers collaborate to support all students, present unique opportunities and challenges. This model promotes equity and provides students with disabilities access to the general curriculum alongside their peers. However, it requires effective communication, coordination, and a shared vision between co-teachers. Teachers must address diverse learning needs, manage classroom dynamics, and ensure that both general education and special education goals are met. These demands can be overwhelming without proper training, resources, and support. This issue of NASET’s Inclusion Series provides 10 detailed challenges teachers face when working in an inclusion co-teaching classroom, along with insights into why these challenges occur and their potential impact.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal published on Friday, Jan. 24, ahead of the Feb. 4 release of his debut memoir, Source Code, Microsoft founder Bill Gates reflected on some of his childhood traits. He said the fact some people process information differently was not understood when he was a child. Gates stated that he knew he was wired differently than his peers, even if there weren't words to describe it. According to Gates, he believes he would be diagnosed with a specific disorder if he were a kid today. What is the disorder that Bill Gates believes he would be diagnosed with if he were a kid today?
