MAINSTREAMING STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Description:

This Institute, offered by a team of outstanding Canadian educators, will deal with

the "why" and "how" of integrating any student into the regular school system, including

people at risk of all ages: dropouts, street kids, or any group that has been missed by the

educational system.

The Institute will provide training and practice in how to use the MAPS action

planning system and the 'circle of friends' concept in designing community integrated

settings. The class itself becomes a community in which people can truly explore their own

values, goals and aspirations.

Instructors:

Dr. Marsha Forest and Mr. Jack Pearpoint

Location:

University of Victoria, Victoria,

B. C.

education institution. His area of expertise is in dealing with people at risk, and his

"Beat the Street" program is making effective in-roads dealing with the issues and

concerns surrounding street kids across Canada.
