...Providing for inclusion Introduction This report will aim to discuss the inclusion for special educational needs (SEN) students as well as those students with autistic spectrum condition (ASC). This report will discuss inclusive education and its history, as well as the social, political and philosophical arguments that impact upon it. The report will look at how educational practice is shaped by legislative and regulatory frameworks; it will also show how our own practice provides support for all children to achieve within mainstream education. Autism Spectrum Condition Autism is associated with a range of differences and difficulties typically related to core skills in reciprocal social interaction, communication and imagination (Wing, L.1996). ASC is ‘a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way in which a person communicates and relates to people around them’ (Wall, 2010. p. 7). Inclusive education Internationally, educational authorities are beginning to embrace a philosophy of inclusion in order to address their moral and social obligations to educate all children (Hodkinson, Vickerman, 2009). Inclusive education is concerned with the education and accommodation of all children within the classroom, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social or linguistic developments.

...The Dimensions of Cultural Diversity According to Geert Hofestede, a scholar and researcher from the Netherlands, there are four dimensions of cultural diversity: power distance, collectivism vs. individualism, femininity vs. masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance. (Hofstede, n.d.). As cited by Maloney, Geert Hofstede, “…defined a dimension as an aspect of culture that can be measured relative to other cultures. He suggested that people carry “mental programs” which develop in the family and in early childhood and are reinforced in a person’s organizations and community. Hofstede further suggested that these mental programs include a component of national culture and are expressed in an individual’s values…” (Maloney, n.d.). Asrani (2000-2010), defines power distance as the extent to which a society accepts the fact that power in organizations is distributed unequally. Individualism/collectivism is defined as the extent to which people act on their own or as a part of a group. Uncertainty avoidance is defined as the extent to which people in a society feel threatened by uncertain and ambiguous situations. Masculinity/feminity [sic] is defined as the extent to which a society values quantity of life (e.g., accomplishment, money) over quality of life (e.g. compassion, beauty).

...What Does Making Excellence Inclusive in Education Mean? Student’s Name Institution What Does Making Excellence Inclusive in Education Mean? In the current education system, the performance of students is to some extent influenced by their background. This influence is in terms of race, region, social class, language, and ethnicity. Students from underserved social backgrounds often perform poorly as compared to those in highly regarded social contexts (Kuh, 2008). To this end, there is no equality in the current education system. This act precipitates a growing need for making education excellence inclusive. Education excellence inclusive means that all students are guided and given room to prove they're potential irrespective of their social backing (Clayton-Pedersen, O'Neill, and Musil, 2009). Making excellence inclusive in the education system, therefore, means that race, cultural diversity, language, the color of the skin and ethnicity are disregarded. As variables for influencing education performance and achievement in schools (Tierney, 2007). Performance is solely based on merit and not on cultural background as it is been the tradition. Cultural diversity has always had negative impacts on the education system, as race and background have been used to gauge the potential of certain students (Tierney, 2007). This fact means that it is erroneous to pronounce a particular student who hails from a minority group or culture as the top performer...
