Discussion Ideas

Use these topics from the Education for All worksheet to facilitate a discussion with your learning group.

  • It costs more to educate some students. Is this fair? Should schools charge parents of students with disabilities extra to educate their son or daughter?
  • What are some reasons it is important that a child attend a school in their own neighborhood?
  • How do we decide what is an appropriate education for a child with disabilities?
  • "Education for All" encourages all student's participation in extra curricular activities such as pep club, sports, science club, school plays, etc. Discuss the benefits and challenges of this requirement.
  • What type of information might a school document to show that a student needs a specialized type of instructional program?
  • Do these requirements suggest that schools should change the way they provide instruction so that students with disabilities can remain in regular classrooms?

  •  Consider using a tracking worksheet for Paraprofessionals to monitor their progress through the units.
  •  For information on how to start an online discussion area, see the online resources section.
