Every Student, Every Day: Collaborative Paths to Inclusive Opportunities (In-Person)

This in-person training will emphasize meaningful collaboration between general and special educators to support inclusive opportunities that can truly meet individual student needs and contribute positively to the greater classroom community.

Can inclusion really be successful for all students? Even the ones that become the center of the classroom universe at the expense of the learning of other students? The answer depends on how well they are set up for success. This training will emphasize meaningful collaboration between general and special educators to support inclusive opportunities that can truly meet individual student needs and contribute positively to the greater classroom community. Participants will explore barriers to inclusion from different perspectives, discuss inclusion myths and realities, and learn collaborative strategies to anticipate and support both every day and complex behavioral needs. Attending with your collaborative team members aligned in supporting inclusive opportunities is recommended to get the most out of brainstorming and collaborative training activities.
