PWCS Office of Special Education Poster Contest

Two teenage students working together

In celebration of Inclusive Schools Week, the PWCS Office of Special Education, invites schools to create a colorful and attractive banner or poster that focuses on stakeholders’ awareness of this event. An inclusive school is where there is a sense of belonging—all students are welcomed members of the school community. There is acceptance and understanding of individual differences, and every staff member shares the commitment and responsibility to meet the needs of all students.

4. Show why inclusive practices are important—What does it mean to your school? What does it look like in your school (classrooms, playgrounds, school bus, extra-curricular activities, etc.)?
