The Inclusive Education Fellowship is an opportunity for teachers and teacher coaches who are interested in deepening their inclusive practices collectively with other educators. During the course, each participant will explore who learners are (awareness; understanding the social, political, and cultural context in which students learn and grow, including cultural identities and systemic injustices) and how they learn (agency; taking responsibility for one’s learning and believing in one’s ability to determine a life path and impact others) via content related to the research-based practices of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning, and Metacognition. Participants will also explore Action Research and brainstorm projects that they would like to do to support more inclusive practices - specifically to support learners with disabilities and learning differences.
This Fellowship provides an opportunity for teachers and teacher coaches to deepen their learning on Inclusive Education. Each Fellow will be responsible for planning, implementing, and publishing their action research project and facilitating a learning session (virtually) related to their project/learning on Inclusive Education and better-supporting learners with disabilities and learning differences.
