Facilitators: Jamie Gilbert, Sophie Pierszalowsk, Jacob English, Bridget Gourley, Karen Gunther, Tim O’Neil
As we adapt to an evolving landscape where conventional language around access and community integration encounters new obstacles, this 1-hour online discussion delves into innovative, practical methods for sustaining welcoming practices amidst stringent regulatory conditions. This session introduces fresh avenues for cooperative efforts and actionable insights. Participants will examine current obstacles, exchange pioneering methods, and devise robust strategies that go beyond conventional terminology.
With an emphasis on flexibility and innovation, attendees will craft approaches to keep their initiatives effective, despite external influences. Participants will depart equipped with resources and handouts containing practical steps for immediate application and a forward-looking plan, aimed at fostering welcoming and adaptable educational settings for everyone.
Join us as we continue this crucial work, refining and adjusting our methods to ensure that openness and collaboration remain central to our educational institutions.
