Special Education Inclusion Happens in General Education Classrooms, But Where Do We Begin?

Summer Institute: Aug 7 & 8 (9AM-1PM) IN PERSON

Saturday Sessions: Oct 28 | Jan 27 | March 9 (IN PERSON) | May 18 (9AM-12PM) ONLINE

Teachers have a unique perspective about what they need to improve their practice. EduDesign is an experimental space that supports teachers to engage in a collective process of inquiry-- to grapple with self-identified questions and problems of practice. The fellowship is a year-round experience that kicks off with a summer institute and includes multiple convenings throughout the year. Each cohort provides space for fellows to build community, make sense of big ideas together, grow their justice work-- in their practice and in schools, and support one another as professionals.

We know that dis/ability inclusion is one key to moving beyond the current segregated systems in most of our schools, and toward a future where all students have the opportunity to learn from and with one another in supported ways that meet their needs. But doing the work of inclusion is complex. It often looks different in different contexts and requires ongoing shifts in mindset, structures, systems and practices. Together, let’s explore how we can build new modes of teaching and learning that value the lives, wisdom and curiosity of all our students.
