As educators we must discover our philosophy and beliefs about how to best create inclusive learning environments
As educators we must discover our philosophy and beliefs about how to best create inclusive learning environments for the learners we support each day. Your vision will likely change and evolve as you grow as an educator and even as you gain knowledge in this course. Therefore, take some time this week to reflect on your vision of inclusion. It will lay a good foundation for when you create a project representing your philosophy of inclusion for children with exceptionalities in Week 5 of our class.

Sample Solution
Vision of Inclusion
My vision of inclusion is a classroom where every student, regardless of their abilities or differences, feels valued, respected, and supported. It's a learning environment that celebrates diversity, fosters collaboration, and empowers all students to reach their full potential. Inclusion, to me, means creating a sense of belonging where every student feels connected to the learning community and has equal opportunities to participate and succeed.
