86 - A conversation with Ochan Kusuma Powell and Kristen Pelletier of Next Frontier Inclusion: http://www.nextfrontierinclusion.org/

Together with Ochan and Kristen we explore the work both have been leading focused on including students with special educational needs in international schools, and the work New Frontier Inclusion has been leading and supporting international schools around the globe. In tandem we will explore the concept of "communicative intelligence' and approaches to developing  inclusion at a systems level in an international school setting.,
