What is Inclusion? Amy Campbell | Season 3 Episode 1

beyond the curriculum

Amy Campbell is the 2020 Washington State Teacher of the Year and a special ed teacher at Helen Baller Elementary in Camas, WA.

As Washington State Teacher of the Year, Amy uses her title to promote more inclusion. She believes that schools are microcosms of our world and by promoting more inclusion in schools we build a more inclusive community. Each one of us has a gift to offer and creating spaces where all members of the community are embraced and included helps our community grow.

In this season we are looking at inclusion and how creating more inclusive environments provides spaces where all learners can thrive.

We will be learning from teachers and advocates who will help us gain perspective on what inclusion means and how educators can be intentional as they create more inclusive environments.

We’ll find out about common barriers that prevent inclusion, some ways inclusion is done well, and how general education teachers can partner with both special education teachers and community members to take our learners… beyond the curriculum.
