Description:

The Call-In is a confidential, collaborative learning space designed to help educators, leaders, and school partners strengthen inclusive, identity-affirming practices that support belonging, access, and participation for all students. Each monthly session will combine reflection and practice, offering participants a supportive space to examine real-world challenges, learn practical strategies, and identify small, actionable “micro moves” they can immediately apply in their classrooms, teams, and systems.

This fall series will be offered in partnership with ASWR and SETC. Each session will include a reflection component, a practical application component, a monthly micro move, and a SETC-aligned tech tip to help participants connect inclusive practice with universal supports, accessibility, and assistive technology.

Session Focus:

Each session includes a Micro Move Connection™ and a SETC Connection to pair practical ASWR strategies with SETC-aligned access, accessibility, universal support, and assistive technology practices.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

Strengthen family, team, and community partnership practices that support sustainable inclusion and belonging-centered systems.

Identify existing inclusive practices that are working and name ways to sustain, strengthen, and adapt those practices within their own classroom, team, or system.

Apply practical strategies that support belonging, access, communication, and participation for students with diverse learning needs, including students most impacted by exclusionary practices.

Reflect on adult mindsets, language, and responses that may unintentionally contribute to harm or exclusion, and practice alternative approaches rooted in connection, curiosity, care, and accountability.

Identify universal supports, accessibility strategies, and assistive technology connections that can be used proactively rather than waiting until a student is in crisis.
