Theory of Action
If districts are trained on how to develop and then implement consistent processes ensuring that all educational environments are accessible, inclusive, and equitable and are supported through collaborative decision-making teams, coaching and shared leadership, then districts will experience improved outcomes for every student and accelerated improvement for students with IEPs .
Objectives
- Districts will implement collaborative linked teaming structures, supported by coaching, to ensure a consistent approach for collaborative decision making that will lead to improved outcomes for each and every student.
- Districts will ensure that educational environments are accessible, inclusive, and equitable for each and every student, by implementing sustainable teacher teams leading to improved outcomes for every student and accelerated improvement for students with IEPs.
- Key student outcomes including inclusion, agency, voice, participation, attendance, engagement, discipline, graduation rates, and achievement improve for students with IEPs .
A foundational belief is that students belong in their learning communities, in an environment with their peers, and educators are responsible to develop both accessible curriculum and environments for each and every student within that inclusive learning community setting.
