Course description
Improve Inclusion Through Evidence-Based Practices
Join us for an in-person training and virtual coaching support on the Inclusive Classroom Framework.
Because students enter the classroom with a wide range of skills, backgrounds, preferences, and goals, it is in everyone’s best interest to structure the classroom environment to be as well amended and inclusive as possible. In this sense, the natural variety of student strengths and needs in the classroom is accounted for and embraced to serve as the central domains of a safe, predictable, caring, supportive, and ambitious classroom environment. These five Domains form the backbone of the Inclusive Classroom Framework (ICF). Evidence-based practices are then allocated to each of these Domains, and implementation steps and procedures are detailed to create a framework that increases the likelihood that educators have the structure they need to successfully implement their selected practice(s).
Who Should Attend?
Teams of general and special educators, service providers, administrators, and anyone interested in inclusive practices.
Facilitators
This training is a collaboration between the Kansas Inclusive Learning and Teaching (KILT) project and Cultivate Education. The facilitators are Melynda Kaifes, Lead Co-Teaching and Coaching Project Strand Facilitator with KILT, and Chris Perry, Executive Director of Cultivate Education.
