Penny Tramel: Belonging

This morning caused me to give pause at how we look at special education students. I think I carried away that we need to look at the special education student through the lens of diversity. I am still reflecting on the idea of "belonging" in that it surpasses a higher need on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. It is definitely something to think about. I think we do need to look at each student individually and make collaborative decisions based on what is best for each child. The afternoon with Professor Kash Rangan was excellent with looking at strategic planning, mission, and vision. Wow, what a great day!
