Beyond Barriers: Disrupting Racism and Ableism to Build Belonging in Schools
Schools often separate conversations about racism and ableism — but these forces are deeply interconnected, shaping who feels they belong.

In this webinar Carrie Basas and Heidi Sohn explore how racism and ableism show up in education — and how we can move from disruption to reimagining.

Through storytelling, real-world examples, and practical tools they will:
- Identify how systems reinforce exclusion, even with good intentions.
- Share mindsets and strategies for creating spaces of true belonging.
- Reflect on first steps we can take in our own schools and communities.

Recorded Webinar - April 22, 2025

Crafting and Implementing an Inclusive IEP
In this webinar Washington’s Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction's (OSPI) and TIES Center provide an overview of a new resource, Comprehensive Inclusive Education in Washington.

​OSPI re-envisioned its support for families and schools to develop and implement inclusive IEPs. Partnering with the TIES Center at the University of Minnesota, they developed an online resource that integrates high-quality inclusive education for all students with disabilities, including students with extensive support needs, with the technical requirements of a well-designed IEP.

​The resource meaningfully engages family and student voices throughout the process of developing and implementing an inclusive IEP. It begins by building on a vision for each student, challenges limiting beliefs about inclusive education, supports meaningful collaboration with families, and provides a process for implementing inclusive education throughout the school day and across the school year.

Using a Strengths-Based,

Whole-Student Evaluation Approach



This webinar explores the Special Education evaluation process as a powerful tool not only for determining IEP eligibility but also for identifying access needs, dismantling barriers, and informing a truly inclusive IEP. The discussion highlights how educators and systems can shift their approaches during the evaluation process ensuring disabled students thrive in environments that honor all learners and challenge outdated perspectives on disability.
