Becky Anderson is an incredibly inclusive English teacher. In this awesome episode she share how teachers can lead inclusive change in their own classroom. From how to create true community to how to be sure students can see themselves on the shelf (or in the books they read) and so much more. Share this with every general education teacher you know. Because, as Becky says... our students are waiting!

When it comes to Inclusive Education, the first thing that needs to shifts are outdated ideas and MINDSETS about special education. For example, "But this student needs functional skills." Or, "I can't do it because --they can't keep up." or "Our system is just fine as it is- why make any changes"
