Making a strong and compelling argument that inclusive education can no longer be viewed as an optional practice within Catholic schools, the authors review available data to illustrate that Catholic schools have been educating students with diverse learning needs for decades, using whatever means possible. Moreover, the article is a call for more nuanced data and research on the state of inclusion in Catholic schools. Faggella-Luby and Engel outline a roadmap for transforming the narrative around inclusion in Catholic schools by reviewing research, models, trends, and surfacing dangerous misconceptions. Highlighting the advantages for all learners to have classrooms in which all students are present to receive instruction informed by each students’ specific learning strengths and challenges, the authors urge that if we want to meet the needs of all of our students, then we need to take the emphasis off of labels and instead design instruction that is student-centered.","PeriodicalId":248502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Catholic Education","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128271238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), a framework for organizing resources, delivering services, and measuring success that directly addresses the mission of Catholic Schools to truly serve all students. MTSS is a research-based and systematic service delivery model that provides tiered supports based on individual learner need. MTSS is defined and contextualized to address both academic and behavioral supports for all students. A brief review of evidence to support the framework is provided. Finally, specific features of the framework are presented with examples to illustrate how Catholic educators might implement across the entire school. scholarly interests focus on disabilities, literacy, reading education, special education, diverse learning needs, instructional design, secondary education, and school reform. Christine M. Bonfiglio , serves as the Director for both the Office of Professional Standards and Graduate Studies and the Program for Inclusive Education in the Alliance for Catholic Education. She is a faculty member within the Institute for Educational Initiatives, teaching for PIE and ACE Teaching Fellows. With a background in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and academic and behavioral interventions, she works to collaborate with Catholic schools in supporting all students inclusively.","PeriodicalId":248502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Catholic Education","volume":"60 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131720926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite a long history of the call to serve all learners, Catholic schools have been slow to welcome students who are academically and behaviorally diverse. Meeting the needs of all learners requires understanding the concept of inclusion, removing barriers, and implementing inclusive educational practices. This article defines inclusion and its prevalence in Catholic schools in comparison to national trends in the public domain. Identified barriers to successful inclusive education are identified and described. Additionally, effective practices are outlined and illustrated using a Catholic school example. To this end, the article aims to introduce proven effective practices for successful implementation in the hope that more Catholic schools will embrace this mission and effectively meet the needs of all students.","PeriodicalId":248502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Catholic Education","volume":"33 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113977451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
