DSE Lesson Plans
While Teacher Leaders for Inclusion make a number of considerations when writing and implementing lessons, two questions lead their work: 1. What am I explicitly and implicitly teaching about disability and other forms of difference? and 2. How am I ensuring access to learning? The lesson plans here make these considerations and align with DSE tenets. Use them in your own teaching or as models for creating your own plans.
