Understanding the mindsets of school staff is an essential step in determining the actions needed to transform schools into inclusive learning communities for students with learning differences. This edWebinar explores how school administrators can collect and use data on inclusive mindsets.
During the session, we define the components of inclusive mindsets, discuss why understanding these mindsets is vital for school change, review specific free tools available to administrators, and present strategies for analyzing data to inform decision making.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school leaders and district leaders.
About the Presenters
A nationally recognized educator and changemaker, Founder and Executive Director Sam Drazin applies his personal and professional background to lead Changing Perspectives’ mission to strengthen school communities through social-emotional learning, disability awareness, empathy development, and inclusion. Sam was born with Treacher Collins syndrome, a rare congenital disorder resulting in both facial anomaly and hearing loss. His experiences, both as a student with a disability and as a teacher working in an inclusive classroom, helped him recognize the importance of supporting students in developing the essential life and relationship skills that underpin equity, inclusion, and social change. The students and educators we work with around the nation are a constant inspiration for Sam.
Riley Mulcahy, the Executive Director of The RILEY Project, is a proud graduate of Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, California. Diagnosed with dyslexia at seven years old, Riley has overcome significant challenges, achieving remarkable success thanks to the supportive environment of small schools designed for students with learning differences. With a strong belief in accessible education, Riley has developed expertise in social media, marketing, fundraising, and community building through experiences at Compass High School in Belmont, California, and Hanger Hall School in Asheville, North Carolina.
