Communities of Inclusion

We MUST consider place!

Where can inclusion happen?

!Where are the places that ALL students go in a school or community?

Where can inclusion happen?! What do we have to do to make the places we go have

meaning?


!As adults, there is no place that we go without a purpose…

!What are the places that students go? What could the purposes be?

!If we only consider place and not purpose – that is integration NOT inclusion


! Places for Content ! Social studies, math, science etc.

! Places for Electives ! Phys Ed, Music, Home Ec., Art etc.

! Places inside the school ! Hallways, cafeteria, lunch room, assemblies etc.

! Places outside the school ! Recess, field trips, extra curricular activities, sports teams,

clubs etc.


! Behaviour ! These are goals to help students have purpose in the

physical community

! Communication ! These are goals to help students have purpose in the

social-emotional community

! Content ! These are goals to help students have purpose in the

learning community


! The Physical Community ! Where are you?! What is the place?

! Knowing how to exist in that place ! Knowing the expected behaviour ! Being able to self regulate behaviour ! Referencing other to see the behaviour if needed

The Physical Spaces

Positive Behaviour Supports!

What are our personal responsibilities to be successful in different spaces in the school?

Personal.. • Awareness • Responsibility • Regulation • Behaviour

The Physical Space – The Hallway

The Physical Space – My work space


! The Social-Emotional Community ! Where are you?! What is the place?

! Knowing how to exist in that place with other people ! Knowing how to communicate and interact ! Supporting safe and caring spaces ! Being respectful to others


! The Learning Community ! Where are you?! What is the place?

! Knowing how to exist in that place with other people AND LEARN ! What is the task/instructions? ! What is the topic/content? ! What do I already know about this? ! What is the big idea of the activity/lesson?


! Behaviour ! These are goals to help students have purpose in the

physical community

! Communication ! These are goals to help students have purpose in the

social-emotional community

! Content ! These are goals to help students have purpose in the

learning community

Purpose WITHIN a Place

Learning Community

Making places purposeful

! What “bubble” needs to be targeted? ! Is it too big or too small or missing?

! Zoom in! ! Where are you?! (the place) ! What do you WANT them to do? (the vision)

! Do they know what you want them to do? (the purpose)

! Do they have the skills to do it? (the teaching)

! Were they a part of creating the vision? (the buy-in)

When can inclusion happen?

! There is a myth that inclusion means that all students receive all their support services in the general classroom regardless of behavioural challenges, learning needs and inclusive experiences.


Communities of CHOICE

Communities of IDENTITY


Inclusion DOES NOT mean

100% of the time

Inclusion DOES mean

we are striving towards it 100% of the time

When can inclusion happen?! We are inclusive…

! 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.


! Where are you going? ! (another place)

! What are you doing? ! (the purpose)

! When are you coming back? ! (because you belong here)


Inclusion is a never ending process of finding better ways to respond to diversity.

Inclusion is a journey, not a destination.

Why is inclusion important?

! Why does this matter?

Why is inclusion important?

!We NEED each other!

!There is power in the PINS!

!Homogeneity is a MYTH!

!Everyone has a CONTRIBUTION to make!

!“Life SKILLS”

How the heck do we do it?

Inclusion

!Who? !What? !Where? !When? !Why?

Keep in mind…

“It is not about finding the answer…It is about finding out what is useful.”
