Throwback Episode 218: Creating Inclusion For All Learners (w/Tim Villegas - Originally aired 8/1/23)
Friends, we’re taking the month of August to talk all things Back to School, today we kick off the series with a discussion on implementing inclusion in the classroom. We’re joined by Tim Villegas, he’s the director of communications for the Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education (MCIE), a nonprofit that seeks to be the catalyst for the meaningful and successful inclusion of all learners in their neighborhood schools. Throughout his 16-year career in education, Tim has advocated for including students with extensive support needs in general education classrooms. He is the founder of Think Inclusive, a podcast for inclusive education, and Inclusive Stories, a narrative podcast series about families and school districts fully committed to inclusive education. Join us as we chat about all things inclusion in our schools: advice for educators, parents, and those in leadership looking to create spaces where everyone belongs. This is an episode packed with resources, be sure to check our show notes for all the links to helpful books, organizations, and films!
