Inclusive Education Month

February is National Inclusive Education Month in Canada

The purposes of National Inclusive Education Month are:

• To highlight inclusive education – to define what it is and how the development of inclusive schools and inclusive school practices helps provide quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students with an intellectual disability.
• To provide educators, students and parents an opportunity to share ideas on strategies to enhance inclusion and successful school experiences for every child.
• To acknowledge and recognize the commitment and effort of teachers, administrators, students, and families who contribute to successful inclusion of students in schools and classrooms throughout Canada.
