Inclusion Collaborative

URL: http://www.inclusioncollaborative.org/

Santa Clara County Office of Education Inclusion Collaborative leads the effort to provide every Santa Clara County Child with a quality learning environment. Its focus is the successful inclusion of children with special needs in child care, preschool programs and the community through education, advocacy and awareness. The Inclusion Collaborative offers training and technical assistance on inclusion, and an inclusion support Warm Line that responds to questions by telephone (408) 453-6651 or by email inclusionsupport@sccoe.org.

The Inclusion Collaborative also leads:

  • The Annual California Inclusion Conference is a three-day conference on inclusion that addresses the care and education of children from birth to 12th grade. Many of the sessions are live streamed and recorded.
  • California Equity Performance and Improvement Program (CEPIP) goal is to support and build capacity within COEs, LEAs, and schools to promote equity for disadvantaged student populations in California schools. The Inclusion Collaborative Department at the Santa Clara County Office of Education created the “California One: Highway to Success for All” project for students with disabilities, English Learners, and African American students. The grant will increase the knowledge and skills of administrators, teachers, and school staff so that they can incorporate equity and inclusion at their school sites. Technical assistance and coaching will be offered to schools in Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara counties. Check back soon for more information.
