Inclusion at the Lee Academy


At the Lee Academy Pilot School, we know that inclusive school practices benefit all students. We strive to implement evidence-based practices that center the strengths of our diverse community—particularly multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and their families.


Our vision relies upon continuous evaluation of and adjustment to our inclusion practices and school-based systems (including our staffing model, assessments, building space, budgeting, and provider resources) to meet the needs of students.School-based decision making, driven by relevant and reliable data, will nurture the individual genius in every child.  This will result in access to authentic tasks, high levels of measurable student growth, and social and emotional learning for all.
The Inclusion Planning Team welcomes any feedback you may have around our vision, and we are also looking to include more family voices as we continue our planning.  If you have any interest in taking on a role in connection to Lee Academy's Inclusion Planning Team please contact the school.... we would be so happy to have you!
