In
order to highlight progress being made in our nation’s schools in providing a
supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population,
and to send a positive message with regard to the value Manhattan Beach Unified
School District places on ALL children receiving such an education, ASK hereby
requests that MBUSD place a Resolution on its December 5th, 2001 board agenda
recognizing December 3-7, 2001 as:
|
* * |
National
Inclusive Schools Week |
* * |
National
Inclusive Schools Week is
organized by the National Institute for Urban School Improvement to acknowledge
the hard work and commitment of teachers, administrators, students and parents
across the country who are working to make their schools more inclusive, and
thereby, significantly contributing to the development of a more inclusive
society. National Inclusive Schools Week will also provide an important
opportunity for educators, students, and parents to discuss what else needs to
be done to ensure that our schools continue to strive toward successfully
educating ALL children.
"What
Are Inclusive Schools? Inclusive Schools -
| * |
make
sure each and every student feels welcome and is learning |
| * |
embrace
the understanding that every student is unique and, therefore, learns
differently |
| * |
understand
that all children - students with and without disabilities, English language
learners, those with special talents
- learn better if teaching is tailored to their abilities and interests |
| * |
collaborate
with families |
| * |
hold
high expectations for student success, |
| * |
and
keep
improving." |
