| Abstract: |
The National Center on Inclusion Toward Rightful Presence sought out schools that provide effective support in general education curriculum and settings for students who benefit from intensive instruction and support. The Center used knowledge learned from these sites to develop and inform its model for advancing rightful presence in schools, which includes six key levers. This brief provides a summary of lessons learned about one of these levers--belonging--from focus group interviews and observations during site visits at four of these "Knowledge Development Sites": (1) WISH Community Elementary School; (2) WISH Community Middle School; (3) WISH Academy High School; and (4) CHIME Institute. |
