| Title | 3rd Annual National Inclusive Schools Week |
| Body | From: NCELA 3rd Annual National Inclusive Schools Week to Focus on Families The 3rd Annual National Inclusive Schools Week will be celebrated December 1-5, 2003, in classrooms, schools, and communities throughout the country to highlight the nation's progress in providing a quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, particularly to those who have disabilities. During the last two years, National Inclusive Schools Week has involved tens of thousands of participants in more than 5,000 schools and school districts in nearly all 50 states. The Week is sponsored by the National Institute for Urban School Improvement, a project of the U. S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs. National Inclusive Schools Week emphasizes the message "Inclusive Schools: Good for Kids, Families, and Communities." This year, the Week will focus on families, and the importance of developing inclusive schools where families are welcomed, respected, and engaged. To help schools and communities plan events and activities for the Week, the National Institute is offering an updated Celebration Kit containing publications that outline the benefits of inclusive schools, suggested readings for children and adults, celebration ideas and lesson plans, and materials to use in promoting the Week. The 2003 Kit also will include specific ideas for family celebrations, classroom and school celebration ideas that honor the diverse heritages and cultures of the nation's children, and suggestions for improving family-school linkages. The free kit will be available for downloading from the National Institute's Web site in early fall. A CD-ROM version is available for purchase.
