The Consortium on Inclusive School Practices developed this policy paper to assist states and localities in meeting this goal, the Consortium developed a policy evaluation framework
with guiding questions that could be used to assess the extent to which state and local systems were
inclusive (CISP, 1996). The policy framework was organized into six key areas (curriculum, assessment,
accountability, professional development, funding, and governance and administrative strategies). The
framework provided a description of key dimensions of inclusive policy, as well as a set of indicators of
inclusive policies at the district and state levels. (Inclusive_Policies.pdf)
