College Student wanting to know more about inclusion

My name is Jennifer Graham and I am a student at Middle Tennessee State Univeresity. This semester I am taking a course on Special Education and one of our assignments is to interview a regular education teacher about inlusion within their school. Unfortunately there are not many schools around Nashville that do inclusion so I am looking for help any way possible to complete this project. If there is anyone out there that is a regular education teacher whose school does inclusion and who could help me complete this project I would really appreciate it.
