Step by Step for Inclusive Schools
Step by Step for Inclusive Schools is a systems-wide model for improving the quality and amount of time students spend in inclusive settings.
Collaborative teaching is often mistaken as the only response to inclusive education. It is important to have a clear understanding of the multiple support models that may by provided for students with special needs. There are three basic options for providing support for students with disabilities: External Support, In-Class Support, and Specialized Support.
The Step by Step team training emphasizes the importance of individual student-centered decisions for assigning supports and services. Each participating school will create an action plan and identify criteria for determining successful implementation of effective practices. This action plan addresses six of the critical themes covered in the Step by Step training:
- Instructional Setting
- Collaboration
- Instruction
- In-Class Support
- Peer and Family Relationships
- Effective Use of Personnel
Implemented across ten states and adopted on a statewide basis in Florida and Connecticut, Step by Step training results in meaningful change at the district, school and classroom levels. Step by Step supports systemic change that benefits all students and the school community.
