1 Jowonio s Model of Inclusion for Early Education Programs
2 Jowonio School Jowonio has a long history of educating a wide range of young children in an inclusive environment. Established in Syracuse, NY, in 1969, Jowonio serves 175 children and their families from up to 19 school districts in five counties annually. The students are diverse. One third are identified as preschoolers with a disability and two- thirds are typical same- aged peers. Approximately 30 percent are from low- income households and one third have diverse cultural backgrounds. At Jowonio, children with disabilities are supported to fully participate alongside their typical peers by a team of physio-, occupational, and speech- language therapists, as well as a school psychologist. Recognizing the need that many families have for increased parenting skills and supports, social workers provide a range of family services that includes parent training, support groups, respite, recreational activities, counseling and referrals. In addition to a comprehensive school program, Jowonio staff support children with disabilities in other early childhood centers, collaborate with colleges and universities to provide teacher training, and advocate broadly for inclusion practices. The school s reputation also draws local, national and international visitors who are involved as practitioners and policy makers in the field of early education. The Jowonio Model What sets Jowonio apart from many other early education programs is its rich child- centered curriculum with a strong focus on social skills and community building. Relationships, between children and staff and families, are central to all that goes on at the school. Jowonio is fortunate to have committed and skilled staff, as well as a bright spacious building on five acres of land with a wonderful playground, Trike Town and nature trail. Over the years Jowonio staff have published articles, hosted conferences, produced quarterly newsletters, advised school districts and taught courses on best inclusion practices. Recently the need became apparent to extract from this abundant amount of information a more succinct depiction of the philosophy and components of the school s practice. Apter & O Connor Associates worked closely with school staff to develop the model found on the next three pages. They conducted an extensive literature review, looked at comparable organizations, interviewed staff, and sifted through numerous internal documents to identify the elements and activities that are most essential to Jowonio s success at including and educating a diverse range of children. The process also clarified the primary impact (outcomes) of Jowonio s programming for children, families, staff and the broader community. It is hoped that this model will be a useful resource for those in the early education field who are interesting in furthering inclusion. More information can be obtained at or by contacting the school directly. Comments, questions and feedback are welcomed. Jowonio School 3049 East Genesee St. Syracuse, NY (315) This project was made possible by the generous support of the Central New York Community Foundation
3 Jowonio School Program Model The mission of Jowonio is to provide model inclusive programs for young children where diversity is celebrated and all children are free to learn and grow.
