How will your future work on an IFSP/IEP/ITP reflect the strategies regarding collaboration with the paraprofessionals, teachers, parents, other professionals, community partners and others-including those who are culturally and linguistically diverse considering all diverse ethnic, racial, socio-economic, cultural, academic and linguistic or family background; gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation; students with disabilities and advanced learners and students with a combination of special instructional needs?
Discuss how your thinking about collaboration has changed throughout this course and how it relates to inclusionary practice.
Describe how what you have learned will impact the way you will work with your colleagues and families.
Explain two or three ways you will address the logistical, political, and/or pragmatic constraints, including those posed by the changing diversity that may inhibit collaboration in your school.
