And Here is December!

INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS WEEK
The theme for this year is "Charting the Course for Inclusive Schools". This theme provides educators, students, parents, schools, agencies, and communities with the opportunity to think about our current philosophies and practices regarding inclusion and to plan for “next steps” in the process. Many of us have seen positive changes in awareness of inclusion as a requirement for achieving greater access, equitable opportunities and more authentic relationships. Most of us recognize that we have many more steps to take to reach our goal of a fully inclusive school culture.
