Creating an inclusive classroom goes beyond seating charts and support staff—it starts with intentional, thoughtful curriculum design. In this session, educators will explore practical strategies for modifying general education curriculum to meet the diverse needs of students with disabilities. Whether you're new to building an inclusive culture, or looking to refine your approach, this hands-on workshop will provide tools for differentiating content, process, and assessment without watering down rigor. We'll dive into real-world examples, collaborate on lesson adjustments, and leave with ready-to-use resources that support access, equity, and success for all learners. Join the Mod Squad and turn curriculum challenges into opportunities for inclusive excellence!
