Demonstration Sites

What is a SIP Demonstration Site?
A SIP Demonstration Site is a school recognized for its innovative practices and strong outcomes in inclusive education. These sites welcome visitors to see inclusive practices in real classrooms, explore curated resources, and learn directly from educators who are making inclusion work.

 

Why Demonstration Sites?
One of the most common questions we hear is: “Where can we see inclusive practices in action?”
Visiting a demonstration site helps translate theory into practice, put strategies into real-world context, and build confidence to bring inclusive practices back home. These visits strengthen Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) practices and support higher student achievement.

 

Who Can Visit?
For the 2025–2026 school year, demonstration site visits are open exclusively to current SIP grantees.

Demonstration Sites are made possible through collaboration with:
