Inclusive Learning Environments:
Identifying Research-Based Best Practices in Washington State
In 1998, the Special Education/Inclusion team at OSPI in Washington State invited schools and districts to submit grant proposals for development of research-based pilot programs for identification of best practices for inclusion of students with special needs in general education programs. The programs described here won a development grant from the Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Washington.
The development process will begin in spring and summer, 1999, with implementation during the 1999-2000 school year. The grant was awarded by OSPI along with the promise of extensive field support and review during the process.
