description While Canada has been seen as a global leader in the push for inclusion and diversity (Inclusion Canada, n.d.), there is still much ground to cover in order to meet the calls to action outlined in international frameworks such as Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD; United Nations, 2006) or towards goals such as 4.5 of the Incheon Declaration (ID; UNESCO, 2016). In this paper, the author’s goal is to answer the research question: to what extent are Alberta school divisions implementing inclusive education (IE) practices as defined by article 24 of the CRPD through a document analysis of publicly available resources. Recommendations are provided in the hopes of encouraging further resource development, system and policy improvements, and research in the field of IE.
