 We will be listing the schools here in our area that are doing Inclusion so far we know and the night of the OSEP event at USF when the final IDEA 2004 Regs came out, we asked Bambi Lockman of the FDOE what schools she was speaking of that were doing inclusion, and she mentioned;
DreamLake Elementary School in Orlando, Florida Nelson Elementary School in Brandon, Florida Those are only two so far, when she spoke of several, there are 2 that she mentioned. We are working on inclusion trying to find out if there are anymore than the 2 that Ms.Lockman mentioned. If anyone else has any, please email iput at information@iput.org. IPUT is also touring schools. We are viewing schools that are known for their inclusive efforts. We are going to share with you all what our findings are, the good, the bad, and the ugly. To tour the programs is so enlightening and you take back and share. Any ideas, or information, tips, etc, are welcome, help us make this state a proud Inclusive state for education for all, Universal Access for everyone!!!

| | SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | | | StudenFocus on Student Achievement: Collaborative Teaching (Exceptional t Education) | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | | | The School District of Hillsborough County has offered a continuum of collaborative teaching service delivery models since 1991. There are three service delivery models that define collaborative teaching and involve collaboration between general education and exceptional education teachers to provide direct support to students with disabilities in a general education classroom. Consultation provides ESE services as an external support to the general education teacher on a monthly basis. Support Facilitation provides varied levels and frequency of support based on student need. The ESE teacher can move among two or more general education teachers during the same class/subject period. Co-teaching provides a more intense level of support, which occurs everyday and for the entire class/subject period. Co-teaching and Support Facilitation require common co-planning time in order for the exceptional and general education teachers to plan and share the responsibility for designing, delivering, and evaluating instruction for all students. Collaborative teaching experiences will be shared by Burnett Middle School collaborative teachers Jeanne Barford (ESE) and Stephanie Wilson (General Education); Julie Rutherford (ESE) and Shirley Brown (General Education). Herbert Peeples, Principal, and Karen French, Assistant Principal for Curriculum, will be available to make comments concerning inclusive practices. Nelson Elementary School will share experiences, challenges, and successes in becoming the District's first Demonstration School for Inclusive Practices. Co-teaching, support facilitation, scheduling methods, and school philosophy will be discussed by Judy Bowen, Principal, and Sandra Raybuck, ESE Specialist. | ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S) | | | All District Goals and Critical Success Factors |

| FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes) | | | This curriculum model, consisting of consultation, support facilitation and co-teaching, continues to be supported by the FLDOE through the Florida Inclusion Network (FIN) grant. Currently, there are 18 FIN statewide offices that provide services to all 67 counties in supporting inclusion and collaborative teaching models. From 2003 to the present, the FIN in Hillsborough County has utilized grant funds to provide staff development training in Collaborative Teaching to approximately 2,000 teachers, administrators and district personnel; provide staff development training and book studies in Differentiated Instruction to approximately 800 teachers, administrators, and reading coaches; provide site-based technical assistance and support to approximately 170 schools; provide staff development to approximately 85 District CAST (Core Area Support Teams) members; and provide training and support to approximately 100 families of students with disabilities. FIN utilizes grant funds for substitutes, stipends, workshop materials, trainer pay, and the management and training of CAST. The grant was renewed for the 2006/2007 school year in the amount of $212,000 for continuation of this curriculum model. There is no additional cost for this agenda item. | EVALUATION | | | | SUBMITTED BY: Rose Calco, District Resource Teacher, Florida Inclusion Network
