There is a growing national sentiment to educate all students in programs which reflect the diversity of the local general student population. This resource guide is directed towards professionals and practitioners who are interested in strategies, resources, programs, and research concerning inclusion, detracking, ability grouping, mainstreaming, and cooperative learning. It contains descriptions, cost, and contact information for selected (1) references, including newsletters and journal articles; (2) educational information centers; and (3) organizations. To the extent possible, the resources listed address students in vocational education and integrated programs.
Societal demands and legislative mandates have called for changes in the way we
educate students, especially those traditionally served in special education or
"tracked" into separate programs. There is growing sentiment to educate all
students in programs which reflect the diversity of the local general
student population. Strategies to decrease the isolation of students with
disabilities include mainstreaming, least restrictive environment, and
inclusion. Teaching strategies such as cooperative learning, curriculum
integration, and project teaching are useful techniques in eliminating tracks
such as general education, vocational education, and college prep.
This resource guide grew out of increasing requests for information from the
Office of Special Populations on the inclusion of students with disabilities
into regular education programs and on eliminating ability grouping and
tracking. This guide contains descriptions, cost, and contact information for
(1) references, including newsletters and journal articles; (2) educational
information centers; and (3) organizations. It is more selective than
comprehensive and, to the extent possible, highlights resources that address
students in vocational education and integrated programs.
The publications section is divided into the following categories: general
information, access and equity, program administration, professional
development, curriculum and instruction, and comprehensive support services.
There are separate sections for newsletters, journals, educational information
centers, agencies, and organizations; exemplary programs and practices,
including brief information on some of the state systems change grants that
address vocational education and also students in the secondary and
postsecondary levels; curriculum centers; and a listing of state-level
personnel who are available to assist local educators.
