Rewind...to October 6th

Inclusion

Objectives of the day:

1. Discuss need for “being inclusive” in youth programs
2. Define potential barriers to involvement in FFA/SAE
3. Identify teacher strategies and resources for inclusion

Dr. Foster had the students put on sunglasses that had vaseline on the front of the lens. He then randomly asked students to read off the screen the well known story of "Who Moved the Cheese?" Through this learning experience some students gave up right away, some tried to move their glasses around to read, and others (sitting up front) focussed in and were able to read. The reactions/thoughts to the activity were:

- I gave up right away and didn't try

- I was annoyed

- I did not like how Dr. Foster kept saying "this is easy"

- I was able to see and it was easy... just not AS easy

We transitioned into watching this video which structured the rest of the class discussion:

Readers: What are your thoughts? How do you use inclusion in your classrooms or youth programs?

AEE 311 Students: Can you share with our readers what your thoughts and reactions were?

Class Reminders:

- Log into AET and post. The minimum is ONE entry per week
