He Belongs As He Is: Collective Visions of Authentic Inclusion
Friday December 6, 2024 3:25pm - 4:20pm CST
4TH Floor - Imperial 9
Despite extensive research demonstrating the positive effects of inclusion for students with Intellectual Disability (ID) in general education, rates of full inclusion for this population remain low. Key components of successful inclusion include leadership that is committed to inclusive pedagogy and a shared vision across all stakeholders, including school staff, family, and community members. This qualitative study analyzes stakeholders’ definitions of inclusion at Sunshine Community Charter (SCC), a public charter (PK-6) whose mission is full, equitable inclusion for all, including those with ID, multilingual learners, and those with multiply-marginalized identities. Using Danforth & Naraian’s (2015) Foundational Priorities for Inclusive Education as a framework for authentic inclusion, our findings demonstrate a streamlined, viable vision for inclusive pedagogy, environments, values, and belongingness for all learners. Implications for systems and policy change are discussed.
