Abstract
As a preservice educator, I am interested in understanding how policy and legislation impact my future students. In this presentation, I will share my learning related to how intersectionality must be addressed in policy initiatives and how educators can advocate for policies–federally but also in their schools–that target inequities in our schools. I will share my learning from Intersectionality in Education and from my participation in the Council for Exceptional Children/Council of Administrators of Special Education (CEC/ CASE) Special Education Legislative Summit and discuss implications, particularly for emerging and new educators.
