Three steps to become a Unified Champion School
Connect with key stakeholders
Aministration, special education teachers, guidance counselors, parents—who are the key stakeholders in your school? Meet with them to get their permission and support to move forward with the Unified Schools Movement. Upon request, Special Olympics Minnesota can provide you with talking points and informational materials to help this step go smoothly.Fill out the Commitment to Inclusion form
Submit a formal expression of your school’s commitment to inclusion, acceptance and respect of all students. After you fill out this form, your school will become eligible for Unified School resources and funding through Special Olympics Minnesota.Identify student Unified leaders
Identify student leaders with and without disabilities and set up a meeting to gain their feedback and direction. This movement works best when it is student led! Upon request, Special Olympics Minnesota will attend these meetings with you.
