Inclusive Practices


RATIONALE:

Bismarck Public Schools believes each learner thrives within an equitable and inclusive learning environment that values the contribution of personal, cultural, and historical aspects of identity to enrich our schools and community.

DEFINITION:

Inclusive practices ensure that each learner is valued as an equal member of the school community. They support positive school climates and foster an understanding of each student’s strengths and weaknesses while providing intentional and meaningful opportunities to engage in all aspects of learning.

Each learner is valued for their distinct characteristics, ideas, and perspectives.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Ensure that schools cultivate and integrate diversity in all learning environments by recognizing each learner’s distinct needs, ideas, and perspectives.
  • Examine and revise our curriculum and teaching practices as necessary to ensure that we are effective in reaching each learner.
  • Improve access to equitable school opportunities across buildings and for each student.
