AESD Inclusionary Practices Project
Professional learning to support inclusive education across all nine ESDs
Two Hour Live and Self Directed Courses
The AESD Inclusionary Practices Project is providing professional learning for educators to increase access for all students in a general education environment through the lens of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Research supports the positive benefits for all when students with disabilities are learning alongside their peers. This project supports educators and school leaders develop and implement sustainable systems, structures, and practices for all students with meaningful access and engagement in inclusive learning environments. Our courses have been revised to include a strengthened connection to family engagement and racial equity. These courses meet the eligibility requirements for equity clock hours and equity leadership hours.
