! as long as we are always striving to be more inclusive…in the classroom, in the school, in the community
! We are inclusive… ! if our goal is to come back and apply skills we have learned in other settings
! We are inclusive… ! When there if groupings are not forced and ALL kids have opportunities to benefit from
multiple groupings and spaces.
! We are inclusive… ! If we start together and end together
! We are inclusive … ! If groupings are based on goals and not ability, gender, culture, race etc.
When can inclusion happen?
! Where are you going? ! (another place)
! What are you doing? ! (the purpose)
! When are you coming back? ! (because you belong here)
When can inclusion happen?
