AHS Inclusion Policy #2 by Trish https://padlet.com/tshipman/jl9q2vqgm5mpgu0s What is inclusion? en-us 2022-02-08 19:53:36 UTC 2022-02-10 00:46:43 UTC hello@padlet.com tshipman https://padlet.com/tshipman/jl9q2vqgm5mpgu0s/wish/2036671484 At Aina Haina School, we value the unique qualities shared by each of our students, and we strive to create an inclusive community of belonging. We focus on the needs of all students, ensuring they are supported academically, socially and emotionally. Our goal is for each student to feel accepted and to be given the opportunity to reach their full potential. 
 
We work to break down barriers, providing opportunities for all students to learn and grow.  With an open mind and an accepting heart, we meet students where they are. We take the time to learn about our students and build relationships in order to provide a safe learning space.

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?

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.

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.

Differences: IB focuses more on pedagogical/assessment/curriculum; our school definition emphasizes the SEL aspect more]]> 2022-02-10 00:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tshipman/jl9q2vqgm5mpgu0s/wish/2039149745 Paul, Laurie, Dayle https://padlet.com/tshipman/jl9q2vqgm5mpgu0s/wish/2039150953 Nothing in our policy talks about changing and evolving; feels more like the here and now, acceptance of who students are currently, SEL.

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..."
