When teams commit to collaborating to ensure high levels of learning for ALL students, a key critical step is to examine personal and systemic beliefs, policies, and practices to build a school and district culture where systems align. Focused on closing the gaps for students with identified needs, this session, designed for leaders of both general and special educators, provides an overview of the core concepts and associated practices to collaboratively support all learners and bring this vision to life.

Join us at the ALL MEANS ALL Institute, where we highlight the critical partnership between general and special educators to move beyond labels in addressing the pressing issue of the achievement gap among students in the United States. With over 7.3 million K–12 students qualifying for special education services, this challenge demands urgent attention and collaborative action.
