Summit Morning Keynote: 

Inclusion is Evolving — Are You?

For inclusion to be possible in today’s classrooms and schools, we need to evolve from outdated interpretations of what it means to understand and support students. In this session, through humor and real-world stories, Dr. Moore unpacks what has changed in classrooms, what hasn’t, and what comes next. Participants will reexamine what community means through belonging and engagement. In our ongoing journey towards more accessible education for all students, together we’ll surface hard truths, explore diverse lived experiences, and reflect on concepts that are critical to consider when understanding and implementing inclusion as everyday practices.
