Inclusive Tech Together
What is Inclusive Tech Together Project?
Inclusive Tech Together (ITT) is a dynamic, three-part professional development experience designed to unify Assistive Technology (AT), Instructional Technology (IT), and inclusive instructional practices in your school.
By focusing on anti-ableism and practical implementation strategies, the program empowers participants to bridge the gap between specialized support and general classroom instruction, ultimately fostering a more inclusive educational ecosystem for all learners.
How will the project be implemented?
The ITT experience is structured as a year-long coaching-style journey, beginning with a virtual "Define & Discover" gathering on Thursday, November 12, 2026 where attendees identify personalized inclusion goals. This is followed by a mid-year in-person learning day on Monday, February 8, 2027 featuring the keynote speaker, Beth Poss from Inclusive Learning 365. There will be interactive workshops tailored to attendees’ chosen goals and held at various regional sites across the state, ensuring accessibility for educators regardless of their location. The series concludes in Spring 2027 with a virtual "Reflect & Reinforce" session on Tuesday, April 20, 2027 to share successes, challenges and next steps. Participants also be provided with a digital toolkit and resource hub for ongoing classroom support.
