Inclusion in the Classroom

Creating a Positive Climate and Culture: How Inclusive Schools Promote SEL | Edutopia

I found this article to be really interesting. I was just reading Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, to my students as a read-aloud for the end of the year. It is a wonderful book about a student with disabilities and how he is treated by his peers. It opened up a really great dialogue with my students about students who were different in a variety of ways. I love the ideas that this article includes on how to create a positive and welcoming climate for students of all needs. Also, if you haven't read Wonder yet, I highly recommend it! My students were begging me to read it longer and longer each day.
