Overview
The research is clear: Including students with disabilities in general education classrooms is the most effective way for all students to learn.
If you are working toward greater inclusivity in your school or system, this book from educators and inclusion experts Julie Causton, Kate MacLeod, Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, Jenna Mancini Rufo, and Paul Gordon is an invaluable guide for you and your leadership team.
Chock-full of research, resources, and seasoned advice, The Way to Inclusion walks you step-by-step through the inclusivity change process, from envisioning your path to reimagining the roles of existing staff and everything in between. The book outlines seven clearly defined milestones tied to an Action Plan that will help you stay the course with so vital an initiative. In addition to milestones and leadership questions, you'll find
* Instructions for conducting an equity review of your system with a focus on special education.
* Guidance for creating and analyzing service-delivery maps, including before-and-after examples from systems that have successfully shifted to greater inclusivity.
* Classroom observation and staff survey tools.
* First-person accounts from educators who have undergone the change process.
* Best practices for developing an inclusivity-focused vision statement.
* Downloadable forms and templates to help you move forward with implementation.
There is no excuse for segregating our students with disabilities from the rest of the student body. This indispensable guide will help you make certain that all students in your system not only learn but also thrive in the least restrictive environment possible.
