Students with disabilities perform better on tests when they spend more time in general education classrooms, according to a recent study on student inclusion from Indiana University.
Keeping students with disabilities in general education classroom settings – or not – is an ongoing debate, but study co-author and director of the Center on Education and Lifelong Learning Sandi Cole says the new data offers clear evidence highlighting the significance of where kids learn.
She says it prompts new questions for schools to better serve students with disabilities.
