Join Us for the KILT Inclusive Practitioners' Summit

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For inclusion to be possible in today’s classrooms and schools, we need to evolve from outdated interpretations of what it means to understand and support students.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.  

From Labels to Needs: Rethinking Inclusive Support for Students and Classrooms 

Inclusive practices are shifting away from medical and deficit-based models of defining students, and towards the intentional recognition of Disability as an integral identity within our communities. To translate this into practice, educators are increasingly aiming to understand and respond to students' needs and lived experiences, instead of waiting for and relying on designated labels to drive planning. 

In this session, we’ll explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and layered and responsive support models can help this shift, by proactively designing learning environments that reduce barriers from the start. Participants will examine how needs-based planning can create more flexible and responsive classrooms that benefit all learners, in both effective and efficient ways.
