Fenway High School

During the 2006-2007 school year, PSI partnered with Fenway High School - a Boston Pilot Public School - and Landmark School - a North Shore school that serves students with language-based learning disabilities - to document Fenway's developing practice of including students with language-based learning disabilities in ‘regular' school classrooms.

PSI facilitated a study group of Fenway and Landmark faculty. Our group explored how Fenway's school culture - in concert with the effective classroom practices of individual teachers - created an environment where inclusion could succeed. Following our group meetings, PSI conducted extensive observations and interviews with teachers, school leaders, and staff, and produced a broad collection of materials that Fenway will use to develop their inclusionary practices and classroom strategies for language-based learning disabled students across the school.
