Inclusive Education

I'm currently sitting in a lecture about inclusion and inclusive schooling. We're discussing a case-study about a primary school class and approaches that we might take to differentiating our curriculum and practice for students with disabilities. In particular we're considering a hypothetical student with Down Syndrome in a grade 5/6 class. We've had some interesting points raised including the inherent inclusivity of the Essential Learnings and the possible effects of differentiating the curriculum (will we be, in effect, "dumbing down" the curriculum?).

More later.
