Vision for a Collaborative General and Special Education Program

Professional learning communities (PLCs) create a rich, student focused environment for educators to collaborate. However, traditional exclusionary practices and minimal funding for special education typically means that general and special education teachers do not have equivalent time and space to collaborate within the PLC model. This presentation explains how one school shifted paradigms to build an effective infrastructure that grew to integrate special and general education teachers, which lead the way to improve the Positive Behavioral Intervention & Support (PBIS), Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), and restorative practices.
