On-line Community The Education for All Listserv is open to anyone interested in an honest exchange of ideas, stories and thoughts regarding inclusive education. It is not a forum for debate on the rightness or wrongness of inclusive education, but is rather a place to wrestle with the questions, seek out solutions, and exchange information. It is also a great way to stay informed on education policy and local trainings, as well as on the activities of the Education for All Coalition. Please join us on the Education for All Listserv.
