  • 隔离和二流:纽约的“特殊”教育

    This 1992 report argues that the special education system in the New York City public schools is by nature segregated and second rate. It offers recommendations for achieving a more inclusive, effective education for all children.

    The report presents data showing that NYC students with disabilities are educated in restrictive and racially segregated environments; identifies administrative barriers to inclusion in general education; and reviews the research literature on the benefits of inclusion. A variety of models of inclusive education are described, including the Adaptive Learning Environments Model, the Integrated Classroom Model, consultant teaching, team teaching, cooperative learning, peer tutoring, and parent involvement.

    Recommendations include broadening the definition of children capable of being educated in general classrooms, improving the quality of classroom teaching, increasing the availability and quality of related services and instructional materials, and expanding the continuum of special education services.
