In June 2010, the Government of Alberta provided its formal
response to the Setting the Direction framework in which it
accepted all 12 of the recommendations, which the response
identified as strategic directions for it to implement. In the
fall of 2010, inclusion was identified as part of government’s
Inspiring Action on Education initiative, and Setting the
Direction was renamed Action on Inclusion to signal
implementation of an inclusive education system. Since then
there has been progress to make changes in practice that support
inclusive education. School jurisdictions are leading this work
and are discussing and understanding how to make these changes
at a local level. There are many examples of behaviours,
techniques and practices that reinforce the impact inclusion has
on us all. Action on Inclusion no longer exists as a project or
initiative, but the work continues as part of our collective
practice to build an inclusive education system in Alberta.
