Inclusive Schools Week at Princeton 2023
December 4th-8th
Inclusive Schools WeekTM (ISW) highlights and celebrates the progress schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to all students, including those marginalized due to disability, gender, ethnicity, geography, and language. It also provides an important opportunity for educators, students, and families to discuss what else needs to be done to ensure that schools continue to improve their ability to successfully educate all children.
Princeton City Schools will join schools across the world in celebrating Inclusive Schools Week from December 4th through December 8th, 2023. This year, the Inclusive Schools Week theme is “Draw Me In.” Participating in art provides a pathway to self-discovery, and sharing art opens doors to understanding and respecting different ways of thinking. The need to belong is a basic need of all students and an integral component of effective inclusive schools. To be inclusive implies a fundamental commitment to building relationships among students, families, educators, and the community to support safe and positive learning environments.
This week, we will highlight all the outstanding inclusive practices happening in Princeton and look for additional opportunities to grow in this area as a district. Daily activities will occur in each building, along with social media activity. We are also asking everyone to wear orange, the color of inclusion, on Friday.
