Hawaii again ranks #1 most inclusive state; New Zealand tops global rankings
|
Globally, New Zealand and Sweden swapped places from last year to take the first and second spots on the list of most inclusive countries, respectively, with Norway holding on to third place for the second straight year. Our global ranking system is unique in that it takes a holistic, multi-dimensional view of inclusion rather than just measuring a singular aspect of identity, like race or gender.
Visit our Index page to learn more about the our annual rankings, and register for our virtual event happening later today at 11am PT with the project leaders to analyze the results and provide a demonstration of a new interactive feature on the site.

Symposium reflects on the 40-year legacy of ruling to support students with disabilities

On October 28, join academics, K-12 educators, lawyers, advocates, and activists for a day-long symposium where they will assess the impact of the decision and explore its current meaning in light of more recent rulings that attempt to define the benefit the law promises.
