Inclusion Awards from the Saskatchewan Association of Community Living

Mar 29, 2011 | 2:32 PM

We believe in Inclusion.

INCLUSION TEACHER OF THE YEAR – Or SCHOOL OF THE YEAR

Deadline: May 15, 2011
Late nominations may not be considered
For some teachers and schools, meaningful inclusion of students with intellectual and other disabilities is the norm. Together with parents, students and community members, they figure out ways to make it happen.

The Saskatchewan Association for Community Living believes that meaningful inclusion is always the “best practice,” and we want to offer parents, peers, students and community members the opportunity to nominate either an individual teacher or a whole school to receive the Inclusion Teacher or Inclusion
School of the Year Award.

Inclusion:

Isn't it great to be included? Our passion for inclusion drives our belief that all people should be valued, supported and included in all aspects of life. We strive to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities are valued, supported and included members of society and that they have opportunities and choices in all aspects of life.
We believe in Community.

Community Living is a simple concept; most of us experience it every day. We live in integrated communities, we work with our peers, and our children go to school with their neighbourhood friends. These are things that most of us take for granted. Although people with intellectual disabilities are capable of learning in regular schools, working at jobs, and contributing to our communities, they are often excluded simply because of their disability. People with intellectual disabilities want to participate in all of these activities, they want to contribute to society and they want to lead lives in the community. Community living allows all people, regardless of their disability, to reach their full potential as citizens.
We want everyone to believe in Inclusion in the Community.

Each month, the SACL hosts one-hour Inclusion Tours. You will learn about our history, the programs we provide and our vision for the future. We will introduce you to some of the great people we have been able to support.

The tours are held at our Saskatoon office and you are welcome to come to either a breakfast tour, a lunch tour or an evening tour. The purpose of the tour is to provide a unique method for people in the community to hear more about our organization. The only thing that you will be asked for is your feedback after the tour about what you thought about the presentation.

Come out and join us on any of the dates listed below. Please RSVP prior to the tour by calling (306) 955-3344 or by e-mailing sacl@sacl.org.

We look forward to seeing you!
