classroom inclusion

Congratulations!  You are a new teacher in an inclusion class (feel free to choose the level where you are most comfortable).  The students in your class are students with behavioral and emotional disabilities as well as "regular education" students. Most are quite capable academically, while some struggle with their academic as well as behavioral skills.  How might you work with all of the students to promote a positive classroom environment and meet the needs of the students with disabilities at the same time?  How can you provide the structure the students need to be successful while helping them to develop their skills?

As teachers how can we promote culturally sensitive and culturally responsive practices in our classrooms?  What are some of the culturally responsive practices you currently use in your class?  If you are not presently in the classroom, what are some of the practices you plan to use with your students in the future?  How can culture impact students' behavior and their focus on learning?
