ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Toby J. Karten, a staff developer, instructional coach, educational consultant, author, and inclusion specialist, has taught learners ranging from preschool to graduate school. She is an adjunct professor with Monmouth University, College of New Jersey, and La Salle University. In addition, Toby has designed online courses and professional development units for pre-service and practicing educators and related staff for the Regional Training Center in Randolph, New Jersey, and online platforms across the United States.

She has collaborated with administrators, staff, students, and their families to ensure that students are educated in their least restrictive environments, looking at inclusive placements as the first option of service with the specially designed interventions in place.

She has spoken with and coached administrators, staff, students, and their families at local, national, and international school sites and educational conferences. Toby’s ongoing professional goal is to help learners to achieve successful inclusion experiences in schools and ultimately, in life.
