Chondra has been diagnosed with dyslexia and is eligible for special education services, but, instead, she is placed in a regular education classroom with support. This is called mainstreaming.
Explanation:
Mainstreaming, in the context of education, is the practice of placing students with special education services in a general education classroom during specific time periods based on their skills.
Mainstreamed students are part of the special education classroom. Mainstreaming has shown to be more academically effective than exclusion practices. Higher self-esteem is the result when mainstreaming of students is practiced. Better and enhanced social skills is the greatest advantage of mainstreaming.
