Inclusive education is coordinated through the school and involves not only the staff and all students but also the community, family, and other professionals. It strives to provide every student with equitable and engaging classroom experiences regardless of disability, race, gender, ethnicity, language capabilities, or socioeconomic status. 

Inclusive schools aim to meet the needs of a diverse group of students and usually share common characteristics such as developing a deep sense of belonging and community within the school,  working closely with members of problem solving teams to ensure success for each student, and dedicating extra time to planning inclusive lessons. 

One way to create the feeling of importance and community while also allowing the student to be an active participant in his or her own inclusion is through the use of cross-age tutoring where older, more experienced students help younger ones. 

I like the picture below because of its simplicity and effectiveness.  It highlights three of the most important aspects of an inclusive school.
