2023-2024 Inclusion Calendar is Changing Formats!
STAY TUNED FOR THE NEW DIGITAL COPY...COMING SOON!
This calendar is a tool for inclusive practice. Inclusive planning is done to ensure various days of significance are built into planning events, due dates, assessments, etc. Inclusive planning also aims to de-center white, colonial, and Christian days of significance which have historically been the center of all planning. Please note that several of the dates may change slightly due to their dependence on the timing of the moon.
