Presentation

The Absence of Asterisks: Creating Communities of Belonging for Every Student.

Description:Many Christian schools still struggle to welcome and weave students with disabilities into the full life of their learning community. Yet we are called to be communities without asterisks. Dr. Carter will share a powerful framework for reflecting upon and fostering belonging within and beyond the classroom. Together, we will explore the implications of this work on the ways we support students with disabilities and on the ways we spur our own schools to be more inclusive and welcoming.

Speaker:

Erik Carter, Ph.D., is Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Special Education at Vanderbilt University. His passion is helping schools, churches and other communities become places of membership and belonging for students with disabilities and their families. As co-director of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, he is invested in research that breaks down barriers to inclusion and equips communities to widen their welcome. He has published widely in the areas of educational and transition services for children and youth with disabilities, including more than 275 articles and chapters as well as 7 books. Learn more about his work at www.erikwcarter.com
