Collaborative Empowerment Project Description
Aligned with research by Thomas R Guskey
|
Every school brings in some workshop and everybody’s gung-ho on it and 2 months later it’s forgotten. I don’t think it’s going to happen with this. I truly don’t. When I do my lesson plans, one of the first things I think about is how am I going to include my students with disabilities. –General Educator It has been my vision for ten years to design a unique professional development program, which not only helps people become better teachers, parents and community members but also creates a learning environment in which people grow closer to each other and learn to appreciate their own unique talents. Witnessing the enormous success of this project in Montana is a professional milestone. The emotion felt during the closing awards dinner was no accident. It was by design. People felt empowered and now know how true collaboration looks and feels. Accomplishing this in my home state adds a tremendous amount of pride and willingness to work toward the sustainability and duplication of the project throughout the country. I extend my heartfelt
thanks to Roger Holt from Parents, Let's Unite for Kids in Billings,
MT and Leslie Mullette from MonTECH in Missoula, MT for their support.
