"Inclusion is not a strategy to help people fit into the systems and structures which exist in our societies; it is about transforming those systems and structures to make it better for everyone. Inclusion is about creating a better world for everyone." - Diane Richler (Past President, Inclusion International)
I am passionate about transforming the system to make it better for my students! Children deserve to see themselves in the stories we read. This project will provide my class with a rich selection of diverse, inclusive read-alouds, that I plan to use throughout my instruction. These books celebrate the diversity of the world around us and normalize marginalized experiences.
The diversity of our community — racial, ethnic, gender, religion and sexual orientation — is our strength.
