Technically it’s National Inclusive Schools Week but for basic conversation, it’s a type of spirit week. 🙂
Inclusive Schools Week is an annual event sponsored by the Inclusive Schools Network (ISN) and Stetson & Associates, Inc., which is held each year during the first full week in December. Since its inception in 2001, Inclusive Schools Week has celebrated the progress that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students who are marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economic status, cultural heritage, language preference and other factors. The Week also provides an important opportunity for educators, students and parents to discuss what else needs to be done in order to ensure that their schools continue to improve their ability to successfully educate all children.
Monday: “Your talents are a gift!” Wear a bow tie or bow to show what a gift you are to our school.
I love the way you celebrated Inclusive Schools Week! Were these ideas you had for your family or were they part of a school celebration? I would love to feature the ideas and links to your blog posts on our Success Stories page if that would be ok? Please send me any information you have from your ISW celebration!
Thanks,
