Join this CollabCast where we talk with a former colleague from New Delhi, India, Kanwal Singh. Kanwal will be talking about the book she published in 2020, Hanging On: A Special Educator's Journey into Inclusive Education. This book even though written in the Indian context, is relevant across any context and as we talk today, you will see why. The book presents a compelling argument for transformation within the realm of special education. Bold and unabashedly forthright, the book confronts typically skirted topics, including the tensions between inclusive theory and practice, the stronghold of traditional 'expertise', the creeping in of commercial interests, and educator burnout.

This CollabCasts theme is Collaboration and more specifically the importance of collaborative planning. Join us as we speak to Dr. Bill Henderson and Danielle Merdin as they share their experiences in developing collaborative practices and systems. As a principal Dr. Bill Henderson was able to set up systems in his school that supported collaboration between multiple stakeholders. Danielle was one such stakeholder, a teacher and instructional coach in the same school, she will share what these systems allowed her as an educator to accomplish and also how she continues to use and build on those lessons learned.
