We deliberately shift policy to support elements critical to this effort: appropriate professional standards, embedded professional development, culturally and linguistically responsive practices, positive attitudes and beliefs about inclusion, and knowledge of disabilities.  \nUnified Purpose: We intentionally and strategically engage in formal collaboration across agencies to make significant progress toward high quality inclusion across early childhood settings.  \nSet Goals and Track Data: Across agencies we set concrete goals for expanding access to inclusive and high quality early learning opportunities, including a base line number of children with and without disabilities in all early childhood settings, and benchmarks that track progress toward the goal.  \n*We adhere to the definition of Early Childhood Inclusion from the DEC and NAEYC Joint Position Statement on Inclusion. Vision statement developed from the recommendations of the Policy Statement on the Inclusion for Children with Disabilities in Early Childhood Programs, Sept 2015, U.S. Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.","cbCaihVdQ0XAT4fe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihVdQ0XAT4fe","pdf",397137,"English","# Vision\n# Guiding Principles\n## Increase Equitable Opportunity\n## Partner with Families\n## Share Benefits of Inclusion\n## Build and Support a Competent Workforce\n## Unified Purpose\n## Set Goals and Track Data","[{\"question\":\"What is Illinois’s inclusion vision for early childhood?\",\"answer\":\"Illinois commits to the inclusion of each child with special needs with typically developing peers in all early childhood environments.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the vision support families?\",\"answer\":\"Families are engaged meaningfully and with support in policy and guidance decisions, program planning and evaluation, and in related meetings such as IFSP, IEP, and transition discussions.\"},{\"question\":\"How will progress toward inclusion goals be tracked?\",\"answer\":\"Across agencies, concrete goals are set for expanding access to inclusive, high-quality early learning, using baseline counts and benchmarks that track progress over time.\"}]","Illinois Early Childhood Inclusion Vision Statement - Guiding Principles and Goals | PDF",1791604215]
