Exclusion on the other hand is when children with special needs attend special schools. ( Exclusion is gradually fading in modern education societies). Though children with severe and multiple SEN are adviced to be in special schools where proper provision will be made for their needs.
Inclusion is well practiced in schools in Nigeria. I believein inclusion beacause I know inclusion in our schools is the first step towards inclusion in the society. Also inclusion brings diversity into the classroom.

Educators should take several different approaches to teaching the same material so that information becomes more interesting and tangible to a greater number of students.

4. Promoting Social Justice

7. Adapting and Integrating Lessons Appropriately
Educators should be flexible when using and adapting lessons in our curricula, as well as in prescribed curricula in general. Many of the most teachable moments are unplanned and unscripted.
