"Schools want to be more inclusive, but many educators don't know where to start. This book helps school and district leaders see a pathway toward creating more inclusive schools through two frameworks: the Special Education Focus Areas (Creating Inclusive Cultures, Improving Instructional Practices, Increasing Student Voice) and the 7 Components of Inclusive and Equitable Learning Communities. The authors provide detailed explanations and examples of how teachers have used the 7 Components to support all students. In addition, includes guidance documents to help teachers and principals make decisions that promote inclusion, focusing on topics like co-curricular activities and transportation, and a collection of vignettes about specific students and the actions of teachers, specialists, and leaders that impacted their success"-- Provided by publisher.
