    Cultivating Meaningful Inclusivity for All Kids

    While many educators strive to meet the needs of all their learners, determining which specific practices to use and when to use them can be a challenging task. This is made even more challenging because many evidence-based recommendations don’t have a clear prioritization of practices nor specific implementation plans to aid educators in their implementation efforts. In this interactive session, participants will be walked through a framework for how to select and incorporate inclusive practices into classrooms, as well as provide coaching to other educators on implementing inclusive practices using common scenarios and their own school experiences.

    Outcomes:

    ● Participants will gain a better understanding of how to create a classroom environment that is inclusive of the wide range of student needs and aspirations.

    ● Participants will gain a better understanding of how to provide coaching to other educators in creating inclusive classroom environments.

    ● Participants will identify individual next steps to improve implementation of inclusive practices.
