“Inclusion is a way of thinking and acting that demonstrates universal acceptance and promotes a sense of belonging for all learners.”

Alberta’s education system is built on a values-based approach which includes acceptance and  responsibility for all children and students.

Alberta Education strongly encourages schools to provide, as the first option, acceptance and inclusion of all students in regular classrooms, making classroom accommodations and curricular modifications as necessary.
