If you’re a teacher, like me, you know that creating an inclusive classroom is one of the most important things we can do for our students. But it can be tough to know where to start. That’s where the Inclusive Educator Toolkit comes in.

The Inclusive Educator Toolkit will give you step-by-step instructions to create a more inclusive classroom for all students, regardless if they are neurotypical or neurodivergent.

“So, you mean it will make it easier for me to support ALL of the students in my classroom?” YES. Yes, it will.

The Toolkit includes a behavior flowchart, environment checklist, and inclusive habit tracker. These tools can help you identify areas where you can make your classroom more inclusive, and track your progress over time.

You’re probably thinking, Of course I want to make my classroom more inclusive, but Laura, how do I get started?

Don’t worry, I’ve got you! I will answer three common questions that educators have about making their classroom more inclusive (hint: the Toolkit will guide you through them all)!

Question #1: How Can I Support Student Behavior in an Inclusive Classroom?

Answer: Keep it Consistent with the Behavior Flowchart

We’ve all been there.

Your lesson is going well. Students are engaged. They’re learning. You feel confident. And then – it happens.

That student, the one you’ve been working so hard to support all year, falls into the same pattern of behavior and ends up derailing the lesson you thought was going off without a hitch.

So, what do you do? You’ve tried everything. Maybe too many everythings…

The key is to respond calmly, consistently, and in a way that meets the student’s needs. That’s why I created the behavior flowchart. It’s a cheat sheet to keep you on track for behavior success.

The behavior flowchart is a tool that can help you identify and address behaviors of concern in your classroom. The flowchart asks you a series of questions to help you determine the cause of the behavior. Based on your answers, it will provide you with an instant evidence-based strategy to address the behavior.

The behavior flowchart allows you to respond in a consistent and intentional way, so you are never left guessing.

No more wondering, am I doing the right thing when it comes to student behavior?

The behavior flowchart has the answers you need to improve student behavior in your classroom. Luckily for you, it’s free when you download the Inclusive Educator Toolkit.

Question #2: How Can I Change my Classroom Environment to Make it More Inclusive?

Answer: Increase Accessibility with the Environment Checklist

Do you often hear your students…

Ask for help reaching or opening their supplies?

Express that they are tired or bored?

Become off-task during lessons because it’s too loud or distracting?

A big part of making your classroom more inclusive is making sure all of your students can access the materials, supplies, and space they need to succeed.

The environment checklist is a tool that can help you assess your classroom environment for potential barriers to learning.

The checklist includes a variety of questions about your classroom’s physical layout, sensory supports, and climate. The checklist will provide you with a list of recommendations for making your classroom space more inclusive.

You don’t even need to think about it – just skim the checklist every morning and *presto* a few small changes will make your classroom more accessible.

And seriously, who doesn’t like checking off items on their list before the school day even begins?

Question #3: How Can I Create a Culture of Inclusion in my Classroom?

Answer: Make it a Habit with the Inclusive Educator Habit Tracker

As an educator, you know that creating a culture of inclusion in your classroom is essential for all students to succeed. But what does that look like in practice?

And how can you make sure you’re doing everything you can to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all learners?

The inclusive habit tracker takes the guesswork out of building inclusive habits.

This simple tool can help you assess your current practices and identify areas where you can make improvements. It’s also a great way to track your progress over time and see how your efforts are making a difference.

The inclusive habit tracker is divided into three sections:

• Before school: Set up your classroom for the day of accessible learning
• With students: Make students feel seen and heard as valuable members of your community
• After school: Connect with your students’ families and engage in self care

The inclusive habit tracker will guide you through simple changes that will make a BIG impact in your classroom.
