Educational inclusion is characterized as a sense of belonging in our school communities and applies broadly to each and every learner and all environments. Each student, family, and community possesses strengths and cultural knowledge that benefits their peers, educators, and schools. And, we recognize, advocate for, and support the racial, ethnic, cultural, disability/ability, gender, sexual orientation, economic and religious diversity in our district. Inclusive schools are dedicated to embracing these diversities and supporting the unique needs and attributes of each and every student, where students are valued as expert learners and can meaningfully participate in general education.  Northshore is committed to increasing inclusionary practices as we work together to dismantle systems and structures of oppression and redesign an educational system that centers justice-driven, intersectional, community-based knowledge and practices.
