Module 2: Assignment: Inclusive practice: key concepts

What does a quality inclusion program look like? How does it offer young children with disabilities access, participation and support, engage families, and inspire growth?

For Part 1 of this Assignment, you will view 4 short videos about 3 young children who are enrolled in inclusive early childhood programs. After you have viewed the videos, you will explain how examples from the videos align with each of the goals outlined in the DEC/NAEYC Joint Statement on Early Childhood Inclusion.

For Part 2 of this Assignment, you will write a reflection, analyzing how your learning about inclusive practices in this module has influenced your perception and practice of supporting and advocating for the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every child, and summarizing your philosophy.
