Synopsis

The Inclusive Toolkit provides educators concrete tools and strategies to enable them to provide the most inclusive educational environment possible. The Inclusive Toolkit addresses many of the questions and "obstacles" that schools encounter when developing and implementing inclusive programs. The reader will come away from the Inclusive Toolkit with a better understanding of the common issues as well as strategies to overcome those potential problems. The Next Frontier Inclusion project also provides a professional network of over 100 international schools that are collaborative by nature and are a ready and willing resource of professionals and organizations dedicated to the vision of greater inclusion at schools around the world.
