“Best Practices” Project – BLaST Intermediate Unit 17. Project Overview and General Information The Inclusive “Best Practices” Project is a collaborative effort among BLaST Intermediate Unit 17, the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN), and participating school districts.
The goal of the Project is to create a digital video case library, with accompanying professional development resources, that illustrates exemplary practices in inclusive instructional settings. Teachers and other school personnel are nominated by their building or district administrators as employing exemplary practices in inclusive settings. Nominations are reviewed by PaTTAN in conjunction with IU representatives, and then nominees are scheduled for video-taping sessions of actual classroom lessons as well as follow-up conferences and interviews. The content developed through this collaborative project provides web-based, interactive professional development tools and resources for in-service as well as pre-service educators.
