"Belonging by Design: Innovative Practices, Impactful Outcomes"

May 7th & 8th 2026 • 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM PST
Transformative Education Through Intentional Design.

As we celebrate our 5th annual Virtual Inclusion Conference, we come together to elevate the power of collaboration and intentional design in creating truly inclusive educational systems.

Belonging doesn't happen by chance—it is created, nurtured, and sustained through thoughtful practices, shared leadership, and the voices of those most impacted.

This year, we reaffirm our commitment to exploring innovative strategies that strengthen connections, honor lived experiences, and lead to meaningful and measurable outcomes for students, families, and educators.

 

This VIRTUAL EVENT is open to all educators, staff, families, and students at no cost.

Funded by the California Department of Education, Special Education Division.

Inclusive Practices: The Smart Investment for Student Success and Fiscal Health
 

Inclusive Practices: The Smart Investment for Student Success and Fiscal Health
 

Innovative inclusive practices aren't just the "right thing to do"—they are the smartest long-term investment a district can make.
Anjanette Pelletier
Facilitated by
Anjanette Pelletier

This 90-minute session will use data and real-world examples to demonstrate the compelling return on investment (ROI) that inclusive practices provide, starting in early childhood and extending through K-12. Through sharing data and implementation experiences we will show:

  • Inclusion Drives Outcomes & Saves Money: Inclusive settings transform student achievement, strengthen family partnerships, and provide significant ROI and long-term fiscal sustainability.

  • The Data Proof: We will review special education data trends and showcase successful, innovative inclusive programs that prove the financial wisdom of investment.

  • Cost Reduction is Real: Learn how intentional investments in inclusive early learning directly reduce future district costs—including fewer special education services, lower paraeducator staffing needs, reduced transportation expenses, and less litigation.

  • Preschool is the Best Place to Start: We will spotlight two early learning centers that are solving the integration of high-quality instruction, family partnerships, and sustainable business models using revenue streams like TK, ADA, and state PreK partnerships. Inclusive PreK is demonstrably the fiscally smartest choice.

 
 

Attendees will leave with:

  • Data demonstrating how inclusive practices can drive clear, measurable return on investment.

  • Statewide Data Metrics to compare against local data, helping identify where improved inclusion might reduce the most restrictive placements and services and have long-term ROI.

  • Actionable Strategies to align fiscal, instructional, and operational systems to support sustainable programs.
