What is ISN?

The Inclusive Schools Network (ISN) supports inclusive teaching/learning in Quebec's English School Boards.

Its key premise is that all learners are members of the school community, and profit from challenge/enrichment.

Emphasis is placed on continuum- based (developmental) approaches, those that promote high instructional standards for all learners.

 
ISN Resources

Please note that ISN resources are not mandated/created by the MELS. Rather, these complementary tools are designed and released by ISN's Coordinator (Lynn Senecal, Ph.D.) as a service to Quebec teachers.

MELS (DPP-SCA) supports access to these non-profit resources; however, their use is not required.

All open-access templates may be downloaded for non-profit classroom use.  They may not be modified, re- posted, or used commercially. (Rule of thumb: Lynn earns nothing; nor should you!)

To ensure understanding/rich use of more complex tools, access to some areas of the website is restricted to Quebec teachers with ISN training.  A list of local trainers is available here.
