Benefits of Inclusion
Embracing the power of inclusion, we strive to create a diverse and welcoming environment where all children can thrive. Through research-backed evidence, it is evident that an inclusive setting not only benefits children with varying abilities but also enhances the learning experience for every child, whether they are gifted, traditional learners, or developmentally delayed.
What Does it Mean to Think Inclusively?
Inclusivity goes beyond mere tolerance; it is about actively embracing diversity and creating an environment where everyone can fully participate. It means being mindful of access and ensuring that barriers are removed. It means respecting and valuing different cultures and beliefs. Inclusivity acknowledges that there are multiple forms of communication and seeks to accommodate each individual's unique needs. Most importantly, it challenges the traditional notion of intelligence and dismantles hierarchies of "smartness," recognizing that there are countless ways to be smart!
At The Rise School of Corpus Christi, we embody the principles of inclusivity by adopting a highly intentional approach within a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Our educational model caters to all children, regardless of whether they have developmental delays or not. Inclusion isn't just good practice; it is the best practice for fostering holistic development and creating a supportive learning community for all children.
