Correct answerConnection with best practices
Collaboration
Redefined roles
To foster an environment of inclusive education, best practices should be followed to
meet the diverse needs of all students. It is the school leader's role to communicate to
teachers, staff, and parents those best practices for inclusion. The best practices to
facilitate inclusion should mirror the best practices identified by a school to educate all
students.
One person cannot build and sustain an inclusive community; it takes the whole
community. To successfully build and support an inclusive learning community, all
members need to be on board with the plan, be heard, and work together to identify
solutions to problems. Not only should leaders collaborate with teachers, but all
stakeholders (including parents) should be involved in identifying strategies to create an
inclusive environment.
In order for inclusion to be supported at the systems level, staff need to build the
mindset that they are all working toward a shared goal. Thoughts such as "That's not
my job," or "These are my students, those are your students," do not foster an inclusive
community. The roles of teachers, staff, and administration need to be redefined in
order to share the responsibility in creating an inclusive environment.
