Creating Effective Schools for All Learners

We want to welcome you to the website for Inclusive Teaching. We are the two authors, Michael Peterson and Mishael Hittie, professor and teacher, father and daughter. Together in this book and accompanying website, we explore how we can create classrooms and schools where all children are welcomed, where students with a wide range of abilities and characteristics successfully, enjoyably learn well together.

We hope you enjoy this challenging trek and find it valuable.We are very interested in your feedback and input regarding this book and its supporting materials. We welcome your participation.
