ABOUT

Shapes of Mind is the website of the Inclusive Schools Network (ISN), one of six Centres for Excellence of the Inclusive Education Service.  ISN helps Quebec's English School Boards to develop effective service frameworks for today's inclusive schools, offering information, professional development, and complementary classroom resources.

ISN’s focus is ‘students at academic risk’ in regular-education classrooms.

Enrichment is the keystone of  ISN resources—promoting high standards for all in today's diverse classes.   

A key ISN premise is that all students are members of the academic community—

and that all learners benefit from rich learning experiences.

Each English School Board selects its ISN priorities from a menu of potential projects and resources.  For information regarding your community's ISN initiatives, please contact your Board's local resource person(s):
