Upcoming Inclusive Practices Part II – Community of Practice

Inclusive practice is not something we do; it’s a way of being in relationship.

In Person Session Dates:

Thursdays: October 15, November 19, December 10, 2026 – (Guest Speaker – Katie Jameson, Inclusion Advocate) and January 7, 2027

Join us as we deepen our understanding of inclusive practices as an ongoing, relational and reflective way of being. Together we will continue to explore how we cultivate spaces of belonging, wellbeing and curiosity through daily pedagogical choices, relationships and care.

Together we will: Honour the understanding that inclusive practice begins within ourselves and must continually evolve through relationships, reflection and action; strengthen our collective capacity to create environments where children are not only included, but engaged in meaningful ways which honour who they are and how they learn.
