Nashville, Tenn., works on inclusion for students with special needs
Schools in Nashville, Tenn., are transitioning their 8,200 students with special needs into mainstream classes. The students are largely educated with their peers and are offered some special instructional time away from the class. The district has hired additional teachers and trained educators on how to "mesh general-education and special-education initiatives together to benefit all students," an official said. Some parents are praising the move to inclusion, while others are concerned it might not work for all children.
