"Is Fair Always Equal?" A Study of Classroom Inclusion

The common misconception that fair is equal can present problems for students in inclusive classrooms. Rather, fairness in the classroom is more often founded on an individual student's needs rather than equality with others. Drawing from the research of Yu & Ostrosky, Berry, Duckworth, and several others, I explore the issue further on what students consider fair when thinking of their education: I then use information this to develop and implement a five week unit for first grade students at the Mission Grammar School in Roxbury, MA. This unit highlights the definition of fair and what it may look like in an inclusive classroom, leading into the understanding that fair does not always mean equal. My project includes the research, the five week unit and its results, several interventions created to encourage a more accepting view of inclusion, as well as applications for this unit in the future.
