This booklet is intended to support and provide momentum to this very important understanding of contemporary education. The booklet includes a guide to help parents and educators assess how their schools might improve meeting the needs of all children. The site includes an excellent library of resources, a discussion forum, events calendar, and newsletter. A handy navigational bar is available at the left. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view many of the files and publications.
Inclusion is the subject of much discussion in education circles.
Also available is a series of downloadable publications on relevant subjects such as teacher preparation, professional development, and the importance of strong collaborative relationships between colleagues. Educators can participate in a discussion forum or subscribe to the monthly E-News. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to check out the National Institute's Events section of the Web site, just recently updated. A searchable online database, the Events section provides information and links to over 20 upcoming conferences, workshops, seminars, calls for papers, and other events in the fields of urban education and inclusive schooling. All entries contain name, date, and location of event, sponsoring organization, a full description, deadlines for calls for papers, contact information, and links to online information and applications when available.
