Keynote: 5 Practices That Power Inclusion: Practical Moves for Classrooms and Leaders (click to access resources)
Session Description
Inclusion isn’t just a vision—it’s a daily practice. This session explores five powerful, research-informed strategies that bring inclusive values to life across classrooms and schools:
- Co-teaching and collaboration,
- Differentiation,
- Natural supports,
- Adaptations that ensure access to grade-level content, and
- Humanistic responses to behavior.
With a focus on real-world application, this session highlights what inclusive education looks like in action—through clear classroom examples, practical “look fors,” and ready-to-use strategies that can be shared with teams and implemented immediately. Whether you're teaching, leading, or supporting instruction, you'll leave with tools to strengthen inclusion in every learning environment.
