The Joyful Inclusion Community
Let’s build something better — together.
We understand that being an Educator is both rewarding and incredibly demanding. From meeting the diverse needs of students to balancing classroom responsibilities with administrative expectations, the role requires unwavering dedication and resilience. In our community, we stretch the definition of educator to embrace anyone who directly instructs students, including paraeducators, therapists, counselors and (of course) teachers.
In working with Educators, we have often found that they:
Are expected to meet the unique needs of all students, with and without disabilities.
Lack access to adequate training in inclusive practices.
Face difficulties communicating with families about their children’s needs.
Feel overwhelmed trying to balance individualized support with the demands of the whole class.
Lack confidence in their ability to implement inclusive practices effectively.
Experience burnout due to the emotional demands and daily challenges of teaching.
Educators often don’t have time to reflect on or celebrate the progress they make with their students. Our Community offers a platform to share successes, big and small, and to feel validated in the work you do.
By joining the Joyful Inclusion Community, Educators can connect with like-minded professionals, share their experiences, brainstorm challenges, and access a wealth of resources tailored to support inclusive education.
