Inclusive Education – The Path Forward: Parents and Teachers as Partners

What does it take to make inclusion work? Who needs to be involved? What are the obstacles? What are the opportunities?

Why is it important?
For my child? For my classroom?
For my family? For my school?

Join us for this full-day seminar focusing on inclusive education from several perspectives:

• As a human rights issue;
• As a question of educational practice;
• As a opportunity for partnership and collaboration between parent and teacher;
• As a challenge to support teachers and students to assure success.

Effective strategies to build a school culture that supports inclusion as well as practical school and classroom practices will be highlighted.

The day will include several keynote presentations, break out sessions - including a case study session and discussion forums
