School event promotes inclusion by engaging families and community partners
Summary
A speaker said hosting community-facing events helps extend classroom inclusion by involving educators, parents and community partners and recognizing students with family members present.
A speaker described why hosting a community-facing event is important to promote inclusion across classrooms and campuses. They said such events let the community see that inclusion “doesn't just happen in our schools” and emphasized involving community partners, educators and parents so students are recognized by their whole family.
The speaker noted that bringing events into the community helps demonstrate the transition and encourages broader support: “Grandma comes, grandpa comes… it's a big deal to extend it beyond the classrooms and bringing it out into the community and allowing community partners to be a part of it, to recognize them and to celebrate our students.”
