ALL students benefit and learn best when educated together while being provided supports that meet their individual needs. ALL people have gifts, strengths, and talents. ALL students deserve exceptionally trained and prepared educators. It is the responsibility of ALL educators to teach ALL students in the ways they learn best. Inclusion is NOT just a disability issue.
Inclusive practices are simply part of exemplary schools.
Teaching AND learning are responsibilities shared by teachers and students. Special education is a service, not a place. Education is accountable for meaningful, valued outcomes. Teachers must teach ALL students to apply knowledge in complex real world contexts. Success of ALL individuals and of our society is strongly impacted by our educational system.
