Looks like #inclusion is now a four-letter word...no, literally, it's a nine-letter word. But anyway, if you want to make a statement, you need this statement tee: acceptance and belonging shouldn't be controversial.

It's Day 30 of #NoExcusesNovember and we're going to end on this note: Stop the debate. The evidence is in. Self-contained #SpecialEducation programs do not deliver on their promise. #Inclusion is our moral and ethical imperative. #inclusionmatters

"They're 'too low' to be in my class." The great thing about school is that when kids don't know things, we teach them! Check out our reel to consider how planning for a wide range of needs elevates learning for all. #inclusion #inclusionrevolution
