Ever find yourself using the precious time you have…admiring the problem and never getting to a solution?
Find yourself facing the same problems over and over?
For example:
- We don’t have enough time to co-plan.
- Others don’t see the importance of inclusion.
- I spend all my time putting out fires and dealing with resistance.
- I can’t get _____ to see why inclusion is a right of all students.
- My colleagues keep saying, “I’ve tried inclusion before…and it doesn’t work.”
