As a Framework for Access and Belonging (FAB) Facilitator, you may have been asked to start the process to hold a FAB Meeting. During the FAB process, you will support team members in collaboratively gathering and analyzing information about a specific student in relation to the team goal for inclusion. The first phase is the pre-meeting survey that all team members must complete. In the teaming phase, the data collected in the pre-meeting survey will guide the teams through the strategy brainstorming activity and inclusion planning. This process leads to the development of an action plan, and the monitoring phase which includes data collection on the supplementary aids and services and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Principles that the FAB team decided to implement to remove the barriers.
Trained facilitators can start the process on the FAB Dashboard
If NOT a trained facilitator, email: FAB@pattan.net
Include your name, county, school name and contact information.
The facilitator guides the team through the following steps, while using the FAB Dashboard:
• Compiling and organizing information about the goal for inclusion
• Identifying the priority area of inclusion
• Identifying barriers to participation and learning
