Education for
All Coalition
The Education for All Coalition is a partnership of parents, educators, related
professionals and others who believe that children of all backgrounds and abilities
should be successfully educated together in their neighborhood schools within
the general education curriculum. We work together to promote education that
includes all children by providing individual technical assistance, advocacy
and supports to families, assisting institutions of higher education better
prepare teachers to effectively teach all children and influencing and supporting
schools, policymakers, and the community to effectively implement inclusive
practices and policies.
Join us!
As a community, we support one another through both the challenges and celebrations
on this journey to insure a successful education for ALL children. We learn
from each other, work together and remain open to new ideas. We meet monthly
to share, seek solutions and plan for action. We also maintain an Internet
Listserv, which allows its members to communicate with each other about
issues of inclusion and stay informed.
Join us!
We need You - your interest, your energy, and your dedication to education
for ALL children. There are several ways you can Join us!
Meetings
We would love to see you at our next meeting; good people, good food and good
ideas coming together for change. Please call Diane Perry at 215.204.3031 for the next scheduled meeting time and location.
Internet Listserv
If you are unable to attend our meetings or if you would prefer to contribute
via the Internet, please join us on the Education for All Listserv. The
Education for All Listserv is open to anyone interested in an honest exchange
of ideas, stories and thoughts regarding inclusive education. It is not
a forum for debate on the rightness or wrongness of inclusive education,
but is rather a place to wrestle with the questions, seek out solutions,
and exchange information. It is also a great way to stay informed on education
policy and local trainings, as well as on the activities of the Education
for All Coalition.
