ASCD: A First Step on the Path Toward Inclusivity
In their recent book, The Way to Inclusion: How Leaders Create Schools Where Every Student Belongs (ASCD, 2023), five educators and inclusion experts—Julie Causton, Kate MacLeod, Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, Jenna Mancini Rufo, and Paul Gordon—take readers on an “inclusivity journey,” charting a path to disrupt the inequities found in traditional special education systems. Organized around seven milestones and filled with research, resources, action planning templates, and real-world examples, their book serves as a guide for educators who are ready to take steps toward sustainable systems change.
