Abstract

This Guidebook takes pre- and inservice teachers on a journey to understand how they can create learning environments that value and embrace diverse disabled students. The journey begins by exploring divergent conceptions of disability. The second stage of the journey traverses the topic of ableism and the ways that disabled people are oppressed through the intentional, and unintentional, actions, and inactions, of others. In the third stage of the journey, teachers investigate how ableism is embedded in K-12 education. The journey concludes with a self-directed deep dive into the topics each teacher feels they need to understand in order to become the teacher they want to be for their diverse disabled students.
