Inclusion Classroom: Who’s In? Everyone!

Do you have students that you deal with? Don’t deal, but rather, build relationships! Instead ask, “Who’s in?”  Who’s involved socially and emotionally? Take the time to build relationships with the students in the class by learning their stories and adding new pieces to their story. Learn inclusion classroom strategies and social supports to help build relationships and maintain predictability and stability for your students. Communication and consistency are keys to building their trust, and it lets students know, “Who’s in!”
