WE DID IT!




Inclusion and Collaboration:
From Teacher To Child
March 12, 2005

On a cold and blustery March day, over a hundred educators from northeastern Illinois, gathered on the campus of Northeastern Illinois University to express their commitment to the quality of education for children with needs -- educational, social, behavioral, physical or medical, and all special needs.  This is really a commitment to all children.  Most participants were special educators, although many general educators were present as well.

The day went perfectly, with no breakdowns or disappointments.  Enthusiasm and joy were present.  Although we talked a lot about the challenges and external pressures on this field of education, everyone had a sense of relentless optimism and commitment that was truly amazing and inspiring.

Thank you for participating in whatever way that you did.  If you participated by not being there, please consider coming to the next event.  It's never too late.
