Teaching through inclusion

Teaching through inclusion

Teaching through inclusion means involving the child into their education, meaning taking the child’s opinion serious like they matter, it means a whole lot to a child to feel that their voices are being heard and taking seriously will elevate a child self worth. One way we can achieve togetherness and understanding in a classroom is to encourage kids to learn each other’s names and interact with kids that are different from themselves from different races, ethnic backgrounds, and social and economic background this exercise will help these children to learn to accept each other as friends and remove any type of stereotypes they might have had about a certain ethnic group those stereotypes would be removed through the interaction of the children.
I know we’ve been there on the first day of school when everyone stood up and tells the classroom a little bit about themselves to the classroom, as a teacher we must not stop getting to know the child after the first day of school, as an educator we wear many different hats one such hat is we have to be a counselor better yet a friend to your students, when students feel comfortable talking to you as a teacher that child will be more open and speaking out whenever they need someone to listen to them at the end of the day all anyone of us really want is to be heard and taking seriously.
The best way to continue this way of teaching is to allow a child to volunteer whenever a question is asked, when a child is forced to take part in a discussion prior to them being ready to participate in that discussion, this act of forcing a child to take part of a discussion can be seen as singling the child out or picking on them if that child perceive that to being the case they would seclude themselves and would shy away or get angry if they are called upon at anytime. Let’s help our children by taking them seriously and make them feel welcome.
