SO Inclusive
Special Olympics BC is excited to announce the creation of a new
school initiative designed for students in grades 6 to 12 called SO
Inclusive or Special Olympics Inclusive.
What is it?
The goal of the SO Inclusive Program is to assist
schools in creating inclusive learning environments for students
with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, help raise
awareness about intellectual disability and Special Olympics, and
involve student and teachers in the Special Olympics movement
through volunteering and fundraising.
The SO Inclusive manual is full of ideas for administrators,
teachers and students to get involved in activities that support
and involve all students while fulfilling curricular
requirements. The program is sponsored by Special
Olympics BC and has been developed with and for
teachers. It is meant to help them raise awareness
about intellectual disabilities and continue to be active in
supporting individuals with different abilities.
How does it work?
Each chapter in SO Inclusive Resource Package offers
teachers and students practical guides to making your school more
inclusive. The following topics are covered in the
book:
-
Inclusive Awareness Raising Activities
-
Fundraising Ideas
-
Volunteer Opportunities
-
Special Olympic Resources
Each section provides ideas and examples of ways to get involved
and presents them in a lesson plan format. Tasks are
broken down and step-by-step instructions are provided to take the
guess work out of participation. Practical guidelines
make the book easy to use for both teachers and students. Also
included are tips about how to plan and host a successful activity
and ways to promote greater inclusion. As well,
suggestions about how the activities can be linked to class content
and help to fulfill curriculum requirements are also
noted.
