The Role of Instructional Assistants in Regular Classrooms: Are They Influencing Inclusive Practices?
Hill, Cathi
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v49 n1 p98-100 Spr 2003
Observations were carried out in 10 regular elementary classrooms in Winnipeg (Manitoba) in which instructional assistants were assigned to students with severe disabilities for at least 2.5 hours per day. Instructional assistants were found to facilitate inclusive practices by interacting with regular and special education students together, providing support to whole-class activities, and promoting the independence of exceptional students.
