Middle and High School Journey

Join the middle school educational journey of Finn and Abbie and the high school experience of Josue and Jack, their families, and incredible teachers as they work together to establish a distance learning program from home in their inclusive classrooms. Initially, the team comes together using the Family Support Plan template to guide their discussion about where to begin. Next, they use the GAMe plan template to help identify ways to embed goal activity practice at home and while participating in synchronous learning activities through distance learning at school. The team then looks at the environmental and instructional supports needed for access to the learning activities. Then, co-teaching and UDL supports are embedded and highlighted to support both families and educators in seeing the whole inclusive educational program fully developed and implemented to support distance learning.
