We have more students struggling in general education than ever while supports for teachers are tighter than ever. How do we sustainably include more students with disabilities in general education? How do we do it in a way that benefits ALL students? Is there a way to plan lessons, respond to needs, and feel less overwhelmed? Yes! Let’s talk about how to do this realistically.

Objectives:

By the end of the session, participants will…  

  1. Identify common barriers to effective inclusion within general education settings and how these challenges impact both students and educators.

  2. Examine inclusive instructional practices that support students with disabilities while improving access and engagement for all learners.

  3. Apply planning strategies that reduce overwhelm and increase flexibility when responding to diverse learning needs.

  4. Explore classroom structures and routines that promote participation, predictability, and shared success.

  5. Develop a sustainable mindset for inclusion that balances student support with educator capacity and well-being.

Presenter

As a Ukrainian immigrant, an identified ESOL student, and an undiagnosed neurodivergent individual, Mash Makhlyagina found that the educational system was not well suited to their learning needs. Recognizing the need for more inclusive educational practices, they earned their Master’s in Teaching and transitioned into a role as a Special Education teacher. Throughout their career, Mosh has taught and provided coaching in both elementary and middle school settings, focusing on General and Special Education. They have had the privilege of working with neurodivergent students from over 40 different countries, ranging in age from 4 to 19. Their experience includes supporting high school students in alternative education settings who have been underserved by the traditional education system. It has been a deeply rewarding journey, one characterized by a commitment to love and learning.
