The Importance of Inclusion with Dr. Erin Barton

To be honest, this is a long overdue episode of Anchored in Education. Inclusion is something that is extremely important to me. My start in education came as a 1:1 special education aide which also included working three summers at a summer Autism camp. As a principal, I transitioned an entire pre-k program in a full inclusion model. Not only did the transition happen, it was a successful one as evidenced by a state monitoring visit in which our program received it's highest marks. But must of the success of that inclusion transformation can be credited to Dr. Erin Barton. I attended one of Erin's workshops on inclusion prior to transitioning our program. I also stayed in touch with her, getting advice along the way. She nows joins us on the podcast to talk about the importance of inclusion and how to do it the correct way.
