In this session, participants will examine research surrounding inclusive practices and brainstorm how to address potential roadblocks for supporting inclusion of students with complex needs. Participants will understand how to better support all students with accessing the general education curriculum. An example of a planning process for breaking down standards into key components and engagement strategies will be explored for various subjects and grade levels. To solidify their knowledge, participants will be given a standard and student scenario, as well as the big ideas, essential vocabulary, and major skills. Participants will then work in small groups to select engagement strategies to support their student’s access and participation. Groups will share their selected engagement strategies with the whole group. Participants will create an engagement tool to be used with their students.
