Inclusive Teaching The New "Norm for Adventist Schools?
|
Kim Kaiser
|
She was nine months pregnant, expecting her third child, and living in New York City while Dad continued with a work assignment in Belize. She had taken the bus to shop for items needed for the baby-to-come when the preschool official called her. " 'Come get your son. He has soiled himself. Bring clothes,' the voice on her cell phone curtly said. "Catching a bus to pick up Shamir would take no less than an hour. Because she wasn't at home and had no clean clothes for her son with her, she walked quickly to the nearest department store and purchased what she needed."
Kim Kaiser, associate superintendent of schools for the New York Conference, is the author of an article titled, "Inclusive Teaching, The New Norm for Adventist Schools?" that appears in the July 26, 2012 issue of the Adventist Review.
