District emphasizes inclusion models and a ‘Be Like Me’ pilot at Greenwood Hills
Summary
Presenters described classroom models for students with disabilities, transition services up to age 22 and a Greenwood Hills pilot program called 'Be Like Me' aimed at deepening adult empathy for learning differences.
The district highlighted inclusion approaches and a pilot program intended to help staff and general-education teachers better understand student experiences.
Presenters described multiple program types — inclusion support, SLC, SDC, TLC and ALC — and discussed transition services for students who graduate but still need support through age 22. They also described a Greenwood Hills pilot, “Be Like Me,” that immerses staff and students in experiences designed to build empathy: “Este programa se comenzó a hacer en el 5º grado... Se llama Ser Como Yo, así se llama el programa, Ser Como Yo,” the presenter said.
Trustees praised staff work and asked how model classrooms and successful pilots could be scaled and replicated across the district.
