Shot in the dark - journal articles on inclusion? (PL 94-142)

[tzikeh]

Any educators out there who can point me to one pro and one con article on Least Restrictive Environment / Inclusion in the classroom that I can pull up in EBSCO or JSTOR? It has to be peer-reviewed, and it has to be something I can pull up and print out tonight. Search-fu is made of fail tonight. Everything I'm finding is "How to teach in an integrated classroom" and I'm all, I'M NOT THERE YET! STOP PRESSURING ME! JUST SHOW ME DATA! GRAAAR!

(Yes, I have to write a paper and study for a final tonight. Tomorrow is end of Spring semester - FREEEEEEEEEE SOOOOOOOOON)

I'm not one, but I know Amand-r was a teacher for a while -- she might have a better idea than me.

I don't know how helpful these will be to you. I only know of books like A Transformatory Ethic of Inclusion: Rupturing Concepts of Disability and Inclusion, Benefits and Costs of Integrating Students With Severe Disabilities Into Regular Public School Programs: A Study Summary of Money Well Spent, From Them to Us: An International Study of Inclusion in Education,

I know of older articles like "Integrated Classroom versus Resource Model: Academic Viability and Effectiveness." that was in Exceptional Children. "The Effects of Inclusion on Learning." from Educational Leadership. "Parent and Teacher Perceptions of Outcomes for Typically Developing Children Enrolled in Integrated Early Childhood Programs: A Statewide Survey." from the Journal of Early Intervention.

I do have a couple links, but I don't know how helpful they will be. This article from Education World.

And Two Faces of Inclusion: The Concept and the Practice is a video that could be of use.

:D Thank you for the help -- I'm amending my post to be more specific. I can't use books, alas, and I need peer-reviewed articles that I can pull from ERIC or wherever tonight.

I am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but here is one. I cannot seem to get JSTOR to give me anything that would specifically address this subject.
