Hiring with the vision of inclusion in mind. Down up, those on the "front lines" working directly with kids have a easy process and frequent collaboration opportunities. Including parents and even the children themselves. Having the kids involved in what they want to see. https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238847124 2021-02-24 23:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238847124 Child led learning, focus on relationships, play skills, connection between home and school hoopera https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238848577 2021-02-24 23:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238848577 strength based teaching and learning hoopera https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238851725 2021-02-24 23:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238851725 strengths based functional IEP goals hoopera https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238853525 2021-02-24 23:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238853525 High expectations for students. Structor for the kids to be successful. Team approach. Think tanks to take on difficult issues within the classroom.

Having multiple trainings to help steer belief systems. Inclusive practices have not been modled or taught very well or often, therefore our belief systems that it is possible need to be expanded. Honesty and non judgmental environments to have these eye opening conversations is a must. https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238860237 2021-02-24 23:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238860237 collaboration of all programs https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238864526 2021-02-24 23:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cocatherine1/9rcg1fjpo7vh647i/wish/1238864526 Keep the communication between ECE teacher, Kindergarten teacher, and the IEP teachers.

All people need accommodations of some sort, and that as a team, WE, the adults are capable of this challenge. The more we do it and practice it, the better we will do. The more practice that we have, the easier it will become.

The program needs to be collaborative with k-12 (not in theory, but in practice.) Certain behaviors are tolerated and understood as communication or lack thereof in ECE. How do we ensure that general education teachers understand the same concepts?
