Attending the Access and Progress in the General Curriculum session presented by Dr. Tessie Bailey was a powerful reminder that every child deserves to belong, to grow, and to thrive. As educators, we hold the extraordinary responsibility—and privilege—of opening doors to both opportunity and achievement for students with disabilities.
This experience deepened my understanding of how high-quality IEPs, when thoughtfully designed and implemented, do more than meet legal requirements—they ignite progress. I was inspired to see how elements like specially designed instruction, related services, and individualized supports are not just checkboxes—they are lifelines to inclusion, engagement, and success.
Most of all, I leave this session believing more strongly than ever that belonging is not a bonus—it’s the foundation. When students feel welcomed, supported, and known, they are empowered to reach their full potential.
With clear expectations, evidence-based practices, and unwavering commitment, we can transform systems and uplift every learner. Together, we create classrooms where access meets purpose—and progress is possible for all. 🌟📚
