l of the classroom supports mentioned are very important to consider for students with hearing loss. What support and the degree of support needed should be based on assessment information that has been tailored to identify the specific educational performance needs of students with hearing loss.The services or supports provided will most often consist of specialized instruction detailed on the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and/or accommodations identified to address communication access issues of these students. Pull-out services by special educators, one-on-one with students or in small groups are usually necessary to meet specific needs. Push-in services where educational specialists work in a team-teaching model along with the classroom teacher or provide small group instruction in the classroom can often address some of the students’ language issues, social needs, and academic challenges.Regardless of current common practice, the array of supports described in this module should be considered by the school team, followed by discussions to determine intensity of intervention required for appropriate progress, who will provide these supports and services, and how best to meet the student’s educational performance with the goal of keeping pace with cognitive peers in the classroom.

Inclusive teaching in a mainstream school involves much more than meets the eye. “How to be a better teacher – a practical guide for inclusive teaching and classroom strategies in a mainstream school” revisits inclusive teaching strategies to examine how successful teachers apply important elements of an inclusive classroom environment and manage the interaction of these principles to create meaningful relationships with each child.

Multi-level teaching in a classroom
Classroom activities, and many more
An inclusive classroom environment ensures that all children feel affirmed, engaged, and supported by their teachers – although they all have different needs and expectations. The nature and benefits of inclusive education Inclusive education is an informal way of describing the practice of including learners with specific needs in regular classrooms and giving them exactly the same opportunities as any other learner to enjoy every aspect of the school experience, from academics to socialisation.Research shows that inclusion is beneficial for all learners – not only those who require additional educational support. These benefits include:
Classroom lessons that are tailored to the needs of all learners because inclusive education makes use of differentiated teaching instruction;
Making differences less “different”, which fosters empathy and builds friendships amongst learners with different abilities; and
Creating high expectations for all persons involved in the learning process.
