Inclusion: A Special Education Dilemma
A video moderated by Dr. Quentin Young, a well-known physician and
former head of Cook County Hospital in the State of Illinois, U.S.
This video presents a roundtable discussion of the issue of bringing
children with disabilities into general education classrooms, and its
intended to stimulate discussions on this controversial topic. The
panelists are adults with disabilities, parents of children with
disabilities, special education administrators, attorneys, and
advocates. As a group, they represent a range of visual, hearing, and
physical disabilities. The panelists' differing views resulted in two
clearly defined positions. Some believe that children with disabilities
should receive support services in the general classroom and be educated
with non-disabled students, regardless of the nature and degree of their
disability. Others believe that a spectrum of services, in addition to
the general classroom, should be available to meet the needs of each
child.
The video is a training tool and should be of interest to college
students, legislators, advocates, agencies, K-12 teachers in general
education classrooms, and special education professionals. The contents
are from a United States viewpoint.

Portraits in Courage
Antoine Casubolo and Valerie Tibet, Directors
This video illustrates contexts in which many teachers work --
violence, poverty, downgraded social status, difficult working
conditions, and ever-increasing psychological pressure. Their usually
strong vocational drive runs the risk of being eroded by often hostile
environments and a lack of respect from large sectors of society.
From Rwanda to Mongolia, and from the outskirts of Paris to Soweto or
to the Bronx, the camera explores the life and work of teachers -- a
tribute to their courage.
