December 1-5, 2008!
Inclusive
Schools Week highlights and celebrates the progress our
schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to
all students, particularly those who have disabilities and those
from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
The Week also provides an important opportunity
for educators, students, and families to discuss what else needs to
be done in order to ensure that their schools continue to improve
their ability to successfully educate all children and youth.
Get Involved!

need to plan a celebration in your school or community: publications
that speak to the benefits of inclusive schools, celebration ideas
and lesson plans, and materials to use in promoting the Week and
inclusive practices in your community. Posters, awareness bracelets,
stickers, and pencils with the message, “Great things happen in
inclusive schools,” are available for purchase. Order today! For
