Veteran SDC teachers K-5 worked with the Professional Learning & Leadership Team to build an SDC-specific Instructional Guidance Website over spring and summer. Elementary SDC teachers can find all needed instructional resources here! 

We are delighted to share our updated SFUSD Special Education Family Handbook! This document contains information to support families in navigating the IEP process, guidance around IEP meetings and timelines, community resources, and much more. This is a great resource for staff looking to support families!

Inclusive Schools Week is a disability forward event that promotes sense of belonging. It provides an opportunity for SFUSD educators and community members to teach students about the intersection of disabilities with other categories of identity, like race, gender, class, cultural heritage, language preference and other differences.  Education and awareness are powerful tools to bridge across difference and enable all students to find their voice and be appreciated for their unique selves.
