Thank you to all of the school sites that participated in Inclusive Schools Week! There were so many wonderful celebrations that highlighted the strengths of our diverse school communities, and placed inclusion at the center, as we aim to do year-round. Creating more inclusive learning environments, dismantling barriers to participation, and promoting equity and understanding among all members of the school community is crucial for several reasons. SFUSD has created this Inclusion Resource Guide which includes all the best resources, curriculum and activities from across the district.
Many district departments, advisory groups and community organizations have contributed to this effort. Since its inception in , Inclusive Schools Week has celebrated the progress that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students who are marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economic status, cultural heritage, language preference, and other factors.
Please register for this virtual event! On this page you will find amazing resources to support your school in celebrating Inclusive Schools Week in December and to strengthen your commitment to inclusion all year long.
It is a time to assess the progress we have made and set goals for our future. Having a clear understanding of your present levels is important when goal setting so this year we are excited to share the CACs Inclusion Site Survey. Take the Survey to see how your school is doing and then join schools across the district in pledging to add at least two new ways to be inclusive at your school site.

Moving through that fear, finding out what connects us, reveling in our differences; this is the process that brings us closer, that gives us a world of shared values, of meaningful community. From Learning for Justice. Disability is an art. It is an ingenious way to live. An intersectional lens challenges the historically white, cisgender, heterosexual understanding of disability to more accurately reflect the narratives as told by lived experiences of disabled people.
