We invite you to join the Special Education Distance Learning Community, a place to come together to trade stories, ask questions, and connect through shared experiences. Margaret Wheatley wrote, “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”
This community of educators is also an outlet for sharing and acquiring adapted lessons and materials. By creating a repository of ideas, together, we can do more. We have added the Diversity and Culture Competency Category. The sharing form can be accessed at the Distance Learning Community Sharing Form (here). Distance Learning Community Spreadsheet (Material Access).
Books provide opportunities for meaningful perspective, rich insight and shared conversations. The DLC summer book club is a way to stay connected. We will explore cultural diversity in education within a blended format focused on sharing, exploring, and collaborating. Please let us know what book you would like to read by completing this survey.
