Centering Student Impact Through Inclusionary Instructional Leadership

Friday December 6, 2024 10:00am - 11:00am CST

2ND Floor - Foster 1

The Inclusionary Practices Technical Assistance Network (IPTN) is a dynamic, systems-level effort to eliminate exclusionary practices for all students in Washington state, with a focus students experiencing the most exclusion. While many students with disabilities have benefited from Washington's increased investment in inclusionary practices, state data show that Black students and students with IDD are still disproportionately excluded from general education. The IPTN is committed to addressing these inequities by explicitly targeting systems and practices that limit choice and opportunity these students. By braiding federal IDEA and state special education funds, IPTN has co-constructed a collaborative of statewide professional organizations to support inclusionary outcomes focusing systems changes in service of students furthest from educational justice. IPTN is more than a network of providers; it's a transformative force shaping the future of inclusive instructional leadership.
