ACTIVITY 1

Define Inclusive Education in your own words.

1. Inclusive education is about looking at the ways our schools, classrooms, programs and
lessons are designed so that all children can participate and learn. That all students can
access and fully participate in learning alongside their similar-aged peers. Teaching and
learning strategies are adjusted to meet students’ individual needs. It also means finding
ways to develop friendships, relationships and mutual respect between all children, and
between children and teachers in the school. Inclusive education is not just for some
children. Being included is not something that a child must be ready for. All children are
at all times ready to attend regular schools and classrooms. Their participation is not
something that must be earned. As a value, inclusive education reflects the expectation
that we want all of our children to be appreciated and accepted throughout life.

How important inclusive education in the Philippines?

2. All students deserve to feel safe, heard, and supported in the classroom. Only then can
they begin to be educated and inspired. Inclusive education include an opportunity for
special-needs students to learn team work skills while heightening their sense of
belonging in the school community. provide a better-quality education for all children
and are instrumental in changing discriminatory attitudes. Schools provide the context for
a child's first relationship with the world outside their families, enabling the development
of social relationships and interactions.

How Is Historical, Psychological, Philosophical and legal bases important to

inclusive Education.

3. Historic - has described inclusive education as the "spontaneous learning by individuals

as they interact with their social and physical environment in their process of day-to-day
 living purely on their own initiatives or through the processes of stimulated learning and
directed practice".
about rights and freedoms that have, over the decades, been used to promote inclusive
educational practices “have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be
given to their children.” This declaration later helped some parent groups and educators
to advocate for equal access to schooling in regular settings, and for parental choice about
where their child would be educated.

Psychological - everyone has a right to education, having a disability should not be an

excuse for being deprived access to schools; neither should poverty, religion, nor race.
For a nation to be truly inclusive, one must start with an understanding of the
psychological bases of special and inclusive education in order to form a humane
perspective of disability and a transformative mindset to include everybody.

Philosophical - participation of students with exceptional needs in inclusive settings is

based on the philosophy of equality, sharing, participation and the worth and dignity of
individuals.

To unify the understanding of the K to 12 and to improve the implementation of each

component, project, and activity under it.” In particularly, the newly-issued policy aims to
“explain the K to 12 curriculum and the programs for each stage, describe the learner and his/her
capabilities at each key stage and show the curriculum, instruction and assessment for each key
stage”; to “establish the components required to ensure effective implementation of the
 curriculum”; as well as to “establish the framework to be used for monitoring and evaluation to
the learner.”

Inclusive education embraces the philosophy of accepting all children regardless of race, size,
shape, color, ability or disability with support from school staff, students, parents and the
community. A comprehensive inclusive program for children with special needs has the
following components:

Flexible learning is a necessity especially during this time. It helps in adjusting to new
environments in learning. It helps in understanding different concepts. It helps you to live a
healthy lifestyle. Most importantly, it teaches you how to learn independently. Flexible Learning
is a set of educational philosophies and systems, concerned with providing learners with
increased choice, convenience, and personalization to suit the learner. In particular, flexible
learning provides learners with choices about where, when, and how learning occurs.

 Accessibility Access to education involves three key elements: non-discrimination,

physical accessibility, and economic accessibility. Educational institutions should be
accessible to everyone, especially the most vulnerable, and no one can be subject to
discrimination on the basis of, among other grounds, sex, ethnicity, geographical
location, economic circumstances, disability, citizenship or residence status, membership
of a minority group, religion, detention, or sexual orientation. Schools should be within
safe and reasonable distance from communities or, for remote areas, accessible via
modern technology. Education should be affordable to all, and States should
progressively introduce free education at all levels.
 Quality education enables people to develop all of their attributes and skills to
achieve their potential as human beings and members of society. Quality education
provides the foundation for equity in society. Quality education is one of the most
 basic public services. Quality education provides resources and directs policy to
ensure that each child enters school healthy and learns about and practices a
healthy lifestyle; learns in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for
students and adults.
 Relevance If it weren't for education at all levels, you wouldn't be able to read, write,
speak, think critically, make informed decisions, know right from wrong, effectively
communicate, or understand how the world works. It prepares children for a positive
future in society in the national and international context.
 Effectiveness and Sustainability Education for sustainable development (ESD) promotes
the development of the knowledge, skills, understanding, values and actions required to
create a sustainable world, which ensures environmental protection and conservation,
promotes social equity and encourages economic sustainability.
