This webinar is for parents, educators and administrators interested in creating inclusive middle and high schools. Dr. Kate MacLeod will address the powerful rationale for inclusive education and the research evidencing the many positive outcomes of inclusive secondary schools. She will then discuss 5 key strategies for creating inclusive secondary schools: presume competence, commit to collaboration, create academic supports, provide restorative behavior supports, and involve the school community. Participants will learn tools and strategies to advocate for inclusive schools, develop meaningful relationships with students, collaborate with colleagues, create accessible instruction, and improve inclusive school community.
