This Video Journal presentation is a compilation of videos from the 1990’s focused on Inclusion. It follows the work of Marsha Forest, Jack Pearpoint and Judith Snow who explain what inclusion means to them. They share with you the heart of inclusion — a way of learning where everyone belongs. Inclusion isn’t about charity or pity; it’s about rights, justice, and creating schools where all children, no matter their abilities or backgrounds, feel accepted and valued.
In this video, you’ll see how inclusive classrooms bring together students with diverse talents and needs, helping them learn from each other and grow together. Teachers succeed when they collaborate as a team, supported by their school community, making learning richer and more meaningful for all.
We’ll also explore the challenges of change — fear, complacency, and control — and how facing these “monsters” head-on helps build stronger, more caring communities.
Join us on this journey to understand how inclusion transforms education, empowering every child to contribute, belong, and thrive. It’s about building a community where everyone’s gifts shine.
