Inclusive Education Through Story and Strategy
A first-of-its-kind digital professional learning platform designed to support educators, leaders, partners and families in creating inclusive schools where every student belongs.​ Grounded in Alberta’s Inclusive Education Principles and built around the fictional Unity Pathways School Division, this site uses rich narrative case studies and real-world complexity to anchor practical, research-informed strategies.
​
What You’ll Find:
-
Role-specific learning pathways for teachers, administrators, support staff, and central office leaders
-
Immersive modules based on student stories and school dynamics
-
Downloadable tools and templates ready for classroom or district use
-
Micro-credential opportunities and potential university credit
-
A growing library of inclusive practice strategies across education, recreation, faith communities, and beyond
This is more than Professional Development. It's a movement toward belonging by design.
Inclusion is not a trend that will go away. It’s a moral commitment to seeing every person as worthy, capable, and needed.
​
Many educators and leaders are doing everything they can to meet the needs of all students, often stretching themselves beyond what’s reasonable. But when systems weren’t designed with every learner in mind, even the most dedicated efforts can feel like they’re not enough.
​
It’s not a failure of people. It’s a failure of design.
​
The Belonging Project begins here... in the gap between what we believe is right and what the system makes possible. It’s not about placing blame. It’s about honoring the struggle of those inside the system while inviting all of us to imagine something better: a culture of learning and leadership built on dignity, diversity, and shared humanity.
​
The Belonging Project is a professional learning ecosystem for inclusive education. It's an invitation to learn, reflect, and build something new. It's a reminder that you're not alone on this path. It's an opportunity to be part of a movement toward dignity, equity, and deep belonging.
The project designed to grow (slowly and intentionally) into a space where we come together and:
-
learn through story
-
reflect on identity and practice
-
access practical tools for real-world change
-
join a community committed to equity, inclusion, and belonging
​​
At its core, the site is built on narrative pedagogy. Through fictional but realistic case studies rooted in a fictional school division, educators can explore the nuance of inclusive practice, across roles, settings, and lived experiences.
​
This isn’t about a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s about cultivating wisdom, curiosity, and courage.
