He talked a lot about the makeup of the schools that successfully included all kids. The principal is actively involved and provides leadership.

There is a sense of community in which everyone belongs, is accepted and is supported by his or her peers and other members of the school community. There is an array of services. Flexible groupings authentic and meaningful learning experienes and developmentally appropriate curricula are accessible to all students. Research based instructional strategies are used. Staff work collaboratively.
