Inclusive education means all children in the same classrooms, in the same schools. It means real learning opportunities for groups who have traditionally been segregated. By building systems to support all learners in the general education classroom students not only have access to the most equitable academic education but all students learn to value the unique contributions that students of all backgrounds bring. Join us and learn the legal and research basis that supports inclusive education for all students!
