Share stories about ALL students
Share stories about ALL students
Consider how your school can share its journey towards becoming a more inclusive learning community.
Consider how to share:
- illustrated success stories about ALL students
- student, parent, family, and teacher perspectives on diversity
- the school's vision and the steps you are taking towards becoming a more inclusive community
- teacher stories about their own evolving inclusive practice
- stories in all the languages of the school community
- digital text, print, and video versions of stories, providing parents and whānau a range of access options that work best for them.
