Abstract
Using the metaphor of “The Frog in the Well: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back” the author reflects on how her lived experiences have shaped her beliefs about the intersections of French immersion and inclusive education. She stories her shifting understandings of French immersion and how these have been shaped by her own student experiences, her experiences teaching French immersion and science in a variety of schools, and her formal study of curriculum and special education. This process of change is made visible through a framework of autobiographical narrative inquiry.
