Description

General and special education teachers often struggle when faced with the challenge of providing the least restrictive environment for students with IEPs.  In this workshop the presenter will help school teams develop a specific plan that will not only provide special education students with full access to the general education curriculum, but also help general education students who struggle get the accommodations and interventions they need.

Objectives

School teams will:

  • Identify barriers to making inclusion work
  • Discuss strategies of successful inclusion
  • Begin development of an inclusion plan for their school
