Inclusive Practices to Support All Learners

“Thirty years of research shows us that when students with varied learning and support needs learn together, they experience better academic and behavioral outcomes, social relationships, high school graduation rates, and post-school success” (SWIFT, 2017, p. 1). Inclusive education promotes a belief in shared responsibility and equitable access to a strong core curriculum with high-quality instruction benefiting all students. Differentiation, the framework of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the use of High Leverage Practices (HLP) will be explored to ensure access to Tier 1 instruction and to promote student success in inclusive environments.
