Meaningful inclusion is supported by clear expectations, practical implementation, and ongoing evaluation. The certification framework encourages schools to review and strengthen important aspects of student support.
- Anti-Bullying Standards Review: Schools evaluate policies and practices that promote respectful student interactions.
- Inclusive Classroom Practices: Guidance encourages learning environments that support students with diverse abilities.
