With a focus on inclusive teaching targeting learners either excelling within a subject or struggling, can students in the middle get neglected?

AUTISM WITH THE CLASSROOM- CAN IT HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON OTHER LEARNERS?

I am currently doing an Action Research Project based around Autistic students within Performing Arts. There are so many benefits that drama/acting can bring to people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, but do you think that there is a possibility that other learners within the classroom may be faced with the adverse effects of this scenario? I would love some fellow teachers opinions on the matter. See More

Ellie Nelson replied to Emma Breen's discussion What do you think the key factors that have an effect on a learners’ behaviour in level 3, post 16 education are?
"I feel what has happened to learners before the session is very influential to their behaviour within the class positive or negative. A good nights sleep, food and drink all account for the behaviour of people. As does what else is occupying their…"

"Hi Roland Your point is very valid about not being able to form lessons plans for every single type of learner within the class, all achieving at different rates and in different stages.  I feel it would be totally impractical to be able to do…"

David Antrobus replied to Ellie Nelson's discussion Inclusive Teaching- THE MIDDLE MAN.
"Hi Ellie, this sounds like that classic school report of students in the middle that reads "doing fine but could do better" and then left there in this category until school finishes. I think students react differently to different ways of…"

Ellie Nelson replied to Jo Cuming's discussion Which technologies are most effective in the classroom? And how do they promote equality and diversity?
"Hi Jo, as a bit of a technophobe I am slightly opposed to using technology as I feel that it can encurr delays if there are problems with the equipment being used and can interrupt the flow in lessons if teachers are not familiar enough with the…"

"Hi Laura, During my teacher training I was involved in a group discussion about this subject. Consensus opinion amongst fellow teacher/trainees whereby it was easier to set-up for middleman .. then have material to support lower levels and…"

Laura Withers replied to Ellie Nelson's discussion Inclusive Teaching- THE MIDDLE MAN.
"I agree Lucy! Also, the education systems are driven by the saying "bums on seats", as this ultimately results in funding. In my experience recently I have discovered some students have realised this resulting in negative attitude. This is…"

"Hi Sam, I certainly agree that good subject knowledge, and great communication skills are essential to the profession. Coming from a performance background I am curious to find a correllation between teaching and performance. I know I am naturally a…"

Lucy Curle replied to Ellie Nelson's discussion Inclusive Teaching- THE MIDDLE MAN.
"I think there is a huge problem with neglecting students in the middle, who don't make a fuss, especially in the modern culture where 'satisfactory' is no longer really considered satisfactory. In a hugely competitive employment…"

"Hi All! I also believe the students achieving acceptable good grades often get overlooked with regards to teachers striving to further excel their understanding and thought processes in order to achieve that bit extra which makes all…"

Aimee Whatson replied to Ellie Nelson's discussion Inclusive Teaching- THE MIDDLE MAN.
"Seeing your commented Mel and you writing the word gifted reminded me of two things that happened at my secondary school. A scheme was ran called 'gifted and talented'. This meant that if your teacher saw you as bright you would get to go…"

Melissa Jade Totman replied to Ellie Nelson's discussion Inclusive Teaching- THE MIDDLE MAN.
"Definitely! When I was at school they were mainly only interested if you were gifted. Even if you were poor at a subject, you were mainly patronised or written off as just not being very good. I definitely think the kids who are in the middle suffer…"

Christopher Heath commented on Ellie Nelson's blog post Teachers-a how to guide.
"Hi Ellie Fascinating question and one that I gave great thought to before I started my teaching journey. I believe that anyone can teach, however not everyone has the personal attributes to be a good teacher. Looking back at my own learning I…"

Ellie Nelson replied to Gina Allen's discussion Have the Germans got a point??
"Hi Gina, I am in total agreement. I feel also that this encourages students to participate in extra curriculur activities, and gain skills in other disciplines that are not included in schools. The only problem with this could be when students leave…"

What are the key qualities a teacher must have to excel within their profession?
Do you believe that everyone can teach, or are there attributes within a person that would make them unlikely to succeed within the industry?
