#ThankfulinKISD for the upcoming celebration of Inclusive Schools Week!

Thank you Keller ISD SpEd for posting a link to the summary of the Stetson & Associates audit on the KISD Special Education homepage! Looking forward to seeing more on the action plan and next steps! kellerisd.net/Domain/124

Inspired and excited about this beautiful one-pager from @inclusiveschoo1. Comprehensive definition of what inclusive education means, and concrete steps for achieving schools where ALL students flourish!

This is a beautiful and thorough inclusive vision! Print this off, read it daily, and let's make this happen!

"Let us prepare our children for future success in life and not hinder them from it...Inclusion benefits all of us and promotes more empathetic, prosperous communities." #DisabilityIsDiversity #AllMeansAll thearcoftexas.org/diversity-equi…

"I want to live in a world where people with intellectual disabilities bear labels like friend, leader, coworker, teacher, and partner, more than special, inspiring, angelic, or sweet." - Bethany McKinney Fox Bethany McKinney Fox

“Kids who have been included in general education have higher reading scores, do better in mathematics, and are more apt to be employed and live independently when they leave school. People still debate whether it’s the right thing to do. Stop the debate. The evidence is in.”

"For true allies, learning what and what not to say is just a building block of their anti-ableist journey."

Looks like an awesome session! Would love to see Keller ISD SpEd share this opportunity with parents!

**Paras a wonderful...but paras should not be shadows!**

Would love to see Keller ISD SpEd sharing this session with families transitioning out of ECI into the district. Looks super helpful!

As we kick off a new school year, this is a beautiful reminder!

"We do not DO inclusion FOR people with disabilities. Rather it is incumbent upon us to figure out how all the things we do can be inclusive." ~Lisa Friedman, author of Removing the Stumbling Block

For teachers who are basketball fans: Paraprofessionals should use zone defense, not man-to-man. Extra hands are great! Assigning an adult to a student, not so much. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #SpedChat

"Autistic people are individuals. We are not all maths geniuses, we don't all like trains. I am hopeless with technology and much prefer painting. There is no 'typical autistic'. But I think we probably all like being respected and validated."- Yenn Purkis @yennpurkis

Our podcast is called Think Inclusive where @TheRealTimVegas interviews people about inclusive education and what inclusion looks like in the real world.

Students who have disabilities do not have “special needs”; they only have special rights. And any student who has a need, with or without a disability, may benefit from the expertise of a specialist. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

“We cannot, as a society, afford to continue to support policies and practices that result in academic failure, limited post-secondary options and continued separation and marginalization based on disabilities,” authors wrote.  thehill.com/changing-ameri…

🙌 We can't boast about having an outstanding school or program if we only admit the #students who are already performing well. Their success isn't a measure of our instruction--they were going to succeed regardless of the instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL
