to the success of our students and communities here in Maine (e.g., research, law, advocacy, social justice, and belonging), and will take participants through research-based key practices for how schools can achieve greater inclusion for all students. Participants
will leave with access to resources and practical strategies to implement greater inclusion in their schools.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
