CALGARY Five Alberta educators and four institutions were singled out recently for creating classroom environments where no one felt left out. They ve gone above and beyond to make sure children with developmental disabilities are welcomed and supported in regular classrooms. The teachers have been nominated by peers and parents for how they advocate for quality inclusive education. When students are well included they just go onto brighter futures, they make friends, said Trish Bowman, CEO of Alberta Inclusion. They do better academically as well. The 2021 National Inclusive Education Award is an initiative organized by Inclusion Canada and its Provincial and Territorial member associations.
