Inclusion in Charleston County School District


In inclusive schools, special education services are provided as a support for students who need them to achieve the outcomes expected of all students in general education. To the maximum extent possible, included students receive their in-school educational services within the general education classroom with appropriate in class support. In inclusive schools, special education teachers have the role of co teacher and collaborator with the general education teacher in classrooms that serve their students.
