How we design learning environments from the beginning matters for whether students with disabilities experience true belonging, access, and meaningful opportunities to learn. This session will explore how schools can center the dimensions of belonging alongside a culture of high expectations and effective instruction to create accessible, inclusive learning experiences for all students.

Participants will examine how planning from the start for all learners can reduce barriers, strengthen instructional practice, and improve outcomes for students with disabilities. A practical case study will illustrate what this looks like in action, and participants will be introduced to several applicable tools that can support inclusive efforts, help teams identify opportunities for improvement, and effectively self-assess where their school is on its inclusion journey.

The session will emphasize practical strategies for moving from a commitment to inclusion to intentional systems, instruction, and learning environments where every student is known, valued, supported, and expected to achieve.
Presented by: Dr. Cassie Martin is the Executive Director of Special Education at the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), where she leads statewide efforts to improve outcomes for students with disabilities through systems change, inclusive practices, and data-informed decision-making. She serves as the executive lead for Washington's Inclusionary Practices Technical Assistance Network (IPTN), designing and advancing a statewide network that builds the capacity of educators, districts, and partners to create more inclusive educational systems, focusing on students who continue to have the least access to choice and opportunity. Throughout her career, Dr. Martin has focused on using data, implementation science, and collaborative leadership to improve outcomes for students who have historically had the least access to choice and opportunity. Prior to joining OSPI, she was the architect of Washington's Statewide Inclusionary Practices Demonstration Sites Project. She is passionate about partnering with students, families, educators, and communities to drive sustainable statewide systems change that ensures every student belongs, learns, and thrives.

Drawing on 40 years of national field experience, they will show you how to evaluate key metrics across instruction, staffing, inclusion, and progress monitoring, helping you distinguish isolated issues from systemic challenges and gain the clear data you need to drive high-impact decisions.
Participants will leave with:
  • Key questions and evidence sources to guide a rapid review of program quality
  • Simple tools and strategies to track key metrics across IEP implementation, instruction, and inclusion

BrighterBalanceCounting Isn't Measuring: Choosing Behavior Data That Survives a Real Classroom

September 15, 2026
 Session Recording               Session Slides
Passcode: X6X$^E7F      
         
Key Takeaways
  1. Recognize why an accurate behavior count can still answer the wrong question, and identify which question a teacher is actually trying to answer.
  2. Apply a measurement decision framework, adapted from the behavior-analytic literature, to choose among frequency, rate, interval, and duration for a specific student and behavior.
  3. Examine the observer assumption built into every measurement method, and what that assumption costs in a classroom with twenty-two other students.

Presented by: Dr. Mary Sawyer, Founder and Director of Rooted Radical, and Melissa Cook, Co-Founder/CEO at BrighterBalance

Attendee Handout: The Measurement Decision Guide.
This guide walks a teacher through four questions about the behavior in front of her and points to the method that fits. On the back, a five-minute script for the leader coaching her through it. Adapted from LeBlanc, Raetz, Sellers & Carr (2016), Behavior Analysis in Practice. Built for a classroom, not a clinic.
