Inclusive Practices Reflection Tool
Project CHOICES created the Inclusive Practices Reflection Tool (IPRT).
The IPRT is a self-assessment that school staff completes to
determine their status in relation to building capacity for
educating all students together. The 36 items on the assessment are
arranged under four categories which reflect settings in schools.
They are: School-wide; Classroom; Non-classroom, and Individual
Student. Descriptions for each item assist school staff to
understand what it looks like when these practices are in place.
The tool is completed online which results in high reliability and
quick turnaround of a report with a tally of all the responses from
a school. This tally is used to develop a plan for improving the
outcomes for students with disabilities in general education.
Each item from the IPRT correlates to one of the following
targets for building a system with the capacity to educate all
students in general education classrooms:
Target 1: All students are members of the general
education community.
Target 2: All students have access to and are supported by all
of the school's resources.
Target 3: The school addresses social and emotional skill
development as a key part of academic outcomes.
Target 4: The school develops and uses data systems for decision
making and problem solving.
Target 5: The school makes concentrated and ongoing efforts to
involve family members and other community members.
Target 6: The school/district is committed to system change and
developing an effective education system for all.
