Ensuring equitable access to the grade-level curriculum is essential for providing all students with high-quality and meaningful learning opportunities. Achieving this requires:

  • intentional planning
  • inclusive practices
  • the use of evidence-based strategies to remove barriers to learning.

This session, featuring educator and inclusive education consultant Loren Swancutt, will explore key knowledge, understandings, and practices that enable all students, including those with complex learning profiles, to access and engage meaningfully with grade-level content and topics alongside their peers in inclusive classrooms.

Loren will:

  • define what it means to provide all students with equitable, high-quality learning experiences
  • explore the elements of inclusive curriculum provision
  • examine how national and state-based curricula support inclusive curriculum provision
  • introduce the Inclusive Academic Curriculum Framework (IACF)
  • demonstrate how to apply components of the IACF to plan for accessible grade-level teaching and learning.
