Inclusive Education
Resources
To explore Inclusive Education at Teach For All, we have a co-created community called the Inclusive Educators Lab. This is a space within the Teach For All network for any teacher, educator, or teacher coach to come together to explore how to make classrooms more inclusive. We learn, discuss, reflect, and share best practices through our bi-monthly newsletter, virtual community calls, and online discussion hub. Sign up to join our community here.
Below, you will find a curated selection of case studies, Inclusive Education Fellowship project overviews, and resources to support you in exploring research-based best practices for inclusive education with a deep focus on Universal Design for Learning, metacognition, and culturally sustaining pedagogy.
