INCLUSION: Season 3 Trailer

beyond the curriculum

In November 2018, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg posted a tweet in which she questions the traditional use of the word “inclusion” by explaining how she views it as a minimum and challenges us to go further.

She says:

It’s not about inclusion or even celebration. It’s about expansion.

Our culture is better when disabled folks expand its ideas about embodiment.

"Our culture is better when centering POC shifts its paradigms.

Our culture is better when nonbinary & trans ppl uproot its gendered BS.

Inclusion = you’re allowed to be here.

Celebration = your being here is great!!

Expansion = we will grow and change because of what you offer.

She goes on to say she is “grateful for all the visionaries pushing for a more expansive and radical way of being in the world today.”

Welcome to Season 3 of Beyond the Curriculum.

During this series, we will hear from visionaries who will share their ideas about “inclusion” and the way they push for a more expansive and radical way of being in the world today. We will be looking at inclusion and how creating more inclusive environments provides spaces where all learners can thrive.

We will hear from teachers and advocates who will help us gain perspective on what inclusion means and how educators can be intentional as they create more inclusive environments.

We’ll find out about common barriers that prevent inclusion, some ways inclusion is done well, and how general education teachers can partner with both special education teachers and community members to take our students, schools, and communities…
