In class, we had guest lecturers come talk to us from BCEd Access Society. Before this class, I had not heard of this support group, but I think the work that they do and the support they provide is really cool. As pre-service teachers, we often hear about the importance of inclusion, but are typically given very little support in understanding what this actually might look like in practice. That is why I made this IEP Resource sheet for my link2practice assignment last term.

I found the exclusion tracker both incredibly interesting and heartbreaking. I understand that there are a multitude of challenges that students face that may require them to have adapted school schedules, different start/end times, modified curriculum, etc. But it is incredibly heartbreaking to think about the social and the developmental impact exclusion has on our youth.

This video was given to us via our class website, and I really liked it, so I wanted to share it again in my blog.
