This presentation will empower administrators and department chairs to utilize backward design to create an environment for students that supports scheduling, collaboration among staff, co-teaching, and the implementation of accommodations to enhance inclusion for students with disabilities to increase access to general education and positively impact graduation rates.Participants will be able to: 1. Strategically integrate key elements: effective scheduling, staff collaboration, purposeful co-teaching, and implementation of accommodations to support graduation. 2. Design and implement systems that improve student achievement and positively shape the long-term life trajectories and post-K-12 opportunities for students.
