I was first introduced to this TEDx Talk when I was researching inclusive education for an assignment. Ms. Jan Wilson goes into the issues that occur, for everyone, when there is no special education funding in schools, it also demonstrates how inclusive education does not just mean placing a special needs student into a “normal” classroom. I believe this video is a great introduction to the topic of inclusive education because it highlights the importance of inclusive education and explains how it is beneficial for everyone in the classroom.

The article above speaks of inclusive physical education but specifically from the perspective of elementary school-aged students with disabilities. The article also delves further into what activities made the disabled students feel positive towards physical education and which activities made them have negative feelings. I believe that this article supports my inclusive education based teaching philosophy because it highlights the importance of modifications and inclusion in physical health education. Not only that but it is an extremely useful resource to have in my teaching toolkit because it is a perspective that I do not have.

The focus of this journal article is on the impact that inclusive education has on all students, covering the impact that inclusion has on both their cognitive development as well as their socio-emotional development. I believe this article gives a great insight into the benefits of inclusive education, while also dismissing the idea that inclusive education is harmful to students without special needs.
