Undertake a transformative journey to change mindsets, identify inclusive practices and model inclusive design using technology.
What is the Inclusive Leaders Academy?
Inclusive practices lead to better outcomes for everyone involved. This academy is intended for educational leaders and teams dedicated to meeting the needs of all learners. Join the authors of Inclusive Learning 365: Edtech Strategies for Every Day of the Year as we undertake a transformative journey to change mindsets, identify inclusive practices, and model inclusive design using technology. Work collaboratively to develop a system-wide, practical approach to inclusion specific to your organization. Leave with skills and an action plan for how your team will change education environments and experiences so no learner is excluded.
The updated National Educational Technology Plan has been released and the US DOE has outlined three areas of digital divide (Use, Design and Access) that impact learner’s success. Is your school equipped to meet the needs of learners and transform education? Complete the Inclusive Leader Academy to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to meet these challenges and create inclusive learning environments that foster success.

Who are your facilitators?
The Inclusive Leaders Academy will be led by the authors of the book Inclusive Learning 365: Edtech Strategies for Every Day of the Year. The I365 Team comes from a variety of backgrounds, but we are all educators! We have over 120 combined years of experience providing inclusive services to school-based teams. We have partnered and collaborated with local school-based teams, regional educational support agencies, and state Departments of Education.
Throughout our work with these various entities, one factor has remained constant: our drive to ensure that every learner, regardless of learning variabilities, has the opportunity to experience success! Our team has a deep belief in the coaching model and demonstrates that in our work. Whether we are working one-on-one with a learner or educator to develop and deliver professional learning experiences or working with large teams or organizations – we walk the walk. We will be alongside you throughout the Inclusive Leaders Academy and have made it our mission to ensure that you leave with a powerful, thoughtful, comprehensive action plan to infuse inclusive strategies and technologies into your setting to facilitate learner success and independence.
We are excited to partner with you.
