Creating Inclusive Cultures
November 9-13
This team has been on their toes! In their second week of Limited In Person Instruction they have stayed centered in their flexibility, learning, planning, and partnership. They have learned where to store and keep their materials, honed their behavior support plan and team response, and stayed consistent in their reinforcement.
Melynda demonstrated immense warmth, compassion and expertise yesterday. She used token boards, first/then language, choice boards, flexible learning spaces, an AAC device, student preferences and more to create a full range of supports for limited in-person instruction. Her knowledge and expertise was paired with a team of professionals who worked together and shared their practice with myself and their principal, Lindy Sproul, modeling equity and belonging. Bonich was prepared and ready at every step to offer materials, trade materials, shift the focus, data collect and swoop in with the much needed reinforcers. The team reflected on their practice, celebrated student successes and planned for the next day.
This team is coming together to support each other (Voodoo Donuts!) and create a shared journey with the families to ensure that student needs are being met at their neighborhood school. What an impressive team and an exciting opportunity to actively see inclusive cultures being built and reinforced. Thank you, Melynda, Bonich, Caitey and Boeckman Creek team!

"Behavior is a big topic. Since the beginning of time, one could argue, children have behaved differently in the comfort of their own home than they have at school. As adults, we behave differently at home than we would at work, around our peers, or outside of the comfort of our places we call home (and there are many reasons for that). Why would it be any different for our children? What happens when school becomes a part of home, especially when that hasn’t been where school-life has been conducted before?"
