“The program is designed to engage participants in becoming responsive teachers, effective collaborators, action researchers and instructional leaders within the inclusion classroom setting. Teachers will become entrenched in differentiated strategies, implement them in their classroom, collect evidence of student learning, and then reflect on and adjust their teaching practices based on student needs and school improvement initiatives. By examining how they can work as instructional leaders and collaborators in a professional learning community, teachers can become empowered to improve programs for students, promote appropriate professional practices and support public policies for the positive development and learning of all children.” -- Dr. Thomas Reed, PSOE M.Ed.
