The Nature of Inclusion in a Blue Ribbon School: A Revelatory Case.

Stockall, Nancy; Gartin, Barbara

Exceptionality, v10 n3 p171-88 2002

This 2-year qualitative research study examined the decisions teachers (n=32) made about their teaching practices in an inclusive elementary school. Findings indicate the individual school community mutually negotiated a common definition of inclusion that was fundamentally grounded in students' active participation in classroom settings. "Benevolent collusion" is discussed. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
