2025 KSDE SETS Administrators Conference

Inclusive education thrives when strong leadership fosters a culture of equity, high expectations, and continuous support. This session will equip administrators and educational leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to build capacity for effective and inclusive instructional practices.

Through an exploration of three key factors—establishing a clear vision and commitment to inclusion, implementing systematic professional development, and leveraging technology to enhance instruction—participants will assess their current systems to identify barriers and opportunities for improvement.

Guided by insights from the TASN High-Quality Instruction within Inclusive Learning Environments project, as well as real-world perspectives from administrators across the state, this session will provide actionable strategies for strengthening inclusive practices. Participants will engage in self-assessment and reflection, leaving with a prioritized action plan and access to resources that support meaningful inclusion, co-teaching, Universal Design for Learning, and assistive technology integration.

By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how to drive systemic change and create learning environments where all students can succeed.
