consider adding a point about ensuring that we have identified all the barriers

# data[].attributes.body
Its comprehensive, may need to condense/summary it so that people will read it.

1st paragraph is the reason/goal.  The why and what
2nd paragraph is the how.

So we would like to know how detailed we want it to be?

# data[].attributes.body
Sounds good, we agree and believe in the AHS definition of what inclusion should be.

AHS Definition of Inclusion (BB, DG, AI)

AHS Definition of Inclusion (BB, DG, AI)

# data[].attributes.body
We agree with the definition as it encompasses the key components of what inclusion is, and what each teacher should strive to for.  Our favorite part was the 2nd paragraph.

# data[].attributes.body
Our group liked it!

Suggestions:
Last sentence: Change "safe learning space" to "safe spaces" since students transition around campus to many places, some are not necessarily for learning

Second sentence: "....socially, emotionally, and culturally."  Reflect the international mindedness of our IB PYP.

Second paragraph, first sentence: "We allow students to explore their own opportunities to learn and grow." Change the wording because "work to break down barriers" is a little harsh.

# data[].attributes.body
We think it's a nice cohesive definition of our feedback.  Last sentence "build relationships" instead of "build a relationship"

Inclusion is an ongoing process that aims to increase access and engagement in learning for all students by identifying and removing barriers.

Inclusion is an organizational paradigm that involves change. It is a continual process of increasing learning and participation for all students. It addresses learning support requirements and questions the broader objectives of education, the nature of pedagogy, curriculum and assessment. It is an educational approach to which all schools should aspire.

Inclusion is facilitated in a culture or collaboration, mutual respect, support and problem-solving involving the whole school community.

# data[].attributes.body
Similar: inclusion is an ongoing/constantly changing process; learning for all students; the whole school collaborates together

Differences: IB focuses more on pedagogical/assessment/curriculum; our school definition emphasizes the SEL aspect more

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing in our policy talks about changing and evolving; feels more like the here and now, acceptance of who students are currently, SEL. We may need to emphasize the more academic aspect of inclusion (assessment, curriculum)

# data[].attributes.body
We liked:
IB's approach as inclusion as a continual process
Our school's definition that focuses on the whole child, not just the student

Suggestion to add to our definition:
Reflect the whole school community - possibly in the first sentence.  Replace "students" with "individuals."

First sentence:
"...and we continually strive..."

# data[].attributes.body
We also saw that the IB's definition talked about change, while ours did not.

# data[].attributes.body
We really like our mission statement. It is very child centered.

# data[].attributes.body
Our definition matches our mission because we try create a culture of kindness.
The IB sounds very intellectual and not necessarily "child" friendly.
