As the lead researcher on this project and speaking on behalf of the team, we welcome feedback and comments on this practice and other practices on the inclusionED site. We want this to be an active and organic site where you can share how you have implemented these practices in a range of real world contexts. In practice, how have they supported your collaborative partnerships?
