It is National Inclusive Schools Week. This was started in 2001 to celebrate the progress that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students who are marginalized due to disability, gender, socioeconomic status, cultural heritage, language preference, and other factors. This week provides an important opportunity for educators, students and parents to discuss what else needs to be done in order to ensure that their schools continue to improve their ability to successfully educate all children. For this week BHS Peer to Peer would like to celebrate everything that you as teachers, staff and students have done in the last years to continue to provide an inclusive setting!
