Exploring the Invitational Impact of Participation in an Inclusive Post-Secondary Academy
Coffey, Debra; Elsawy, Ibrahim
Journal of Invitational Theory and Practice, v23 p27-34 2017
This qualitative study explored the impact of participation in an inclusive post-secondary Academy's learning opportunities. The Academy intentionally utilized the Invitational Theory and Practice (ITP) framework. During the study, Academy mentors and faculty members highlighted their experiences and described the ways they created an intentionally inviting environment that positively supported the learning opportunities for post-secondary students with diverse intellectual or developmental abilities. Examination of the Academy's people, places, policies, programs, and processes through the five elements: intentionality, care, optimism, respect, and trust (I-CORT), confirmed implementation of the ITP framework impacted the Academy's attainment of overarching goals, including a positive institutional climate and student satisfaction with learning opportunities.
