Just in time for summer camp season! This workshop designed for teaching artists will help improve confidence and increase skill sets in facilitating arts education experiences for Pre K-12 students of all abilities in an inclusive setting. Topics explored will include a basic overview of disability and inclusion philosophy and language, general and individual student accommodations and strategies, creating a culture of social inclusion, and supporting positive behavior. Participants will gain a broader understanding of both the philosophy and practice of inclusion, as well as tangible resources and strategies that can be implemented within their classroom practice.
