Inclusion in a Music and Movement Education Course
Carpenter, Sue
Journal of the International Association of Special Education, v16 n1 p90-92 Spr 2015
This praxis article outlines an ongoing inclusive "Music and Movement in Education" two-credit undergraduate course initiated and facilitated by the author in 2012. It includes step-by-step strategies and suggestions to implement and advocate for an inclusion model in pre-service education or special education courses. The exploratory model is a required course within a two-year Associate Education Degree Program at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn (part of the City University of New York). Undergraduate pre-service education students (PSE) attending the course are completing their Associate of Science degree majoring in Early Childhood/Childcare or Education Studies. Included and auditing the class are young adults over the age of 21 with developmental disabilities. They are part of the college-wide Melissa Reggio Higher Education Program (MRHEP) and are supported by a mentor.
