What is the long-term goal of inclusion?
The WCEA/WASC accreditation process resulted in 4 action plan goals for American Martyrs School and two of these goals are applicable to the inclusive education program. The first is to ” Ensure that every single child, regardless of ability level, will experience growth in all areas on a yearly basis”. While the efforts to date have had a positive impact on the struggling student, more work is needed to address the students who need further academic challenges and enrichment. The second WCEA/WASC goal is to “Integrate technology into students’ daily lives so that they are prepared to adapt to a rapidly changing world”. American Martyrs must research and utilize available technology to further differentiate instruction.
