Committee hears plan to deepen special‑education 'high‑leverage practices' and inclusion
Summary
Katie Cole presented the district's focus on specialized instruction, responsiveness (data cycles) and inclusive practices to improve outcomes for students with IEPs; staff will meet monthly and receive targeted professional development.
Katie Cole explained the district is emphasizing three components as part of high‑leverage practices for special education: specialized instruction tied to IEP goals, responsiveness using data cycles and inclusive practices that preserve specially designed instruction while increasing access to general education.
"So those 3 parts together, make that high leverage practice and it's high leverage because it it has impact on the students and their goals," Cole said. She described monthly building‑level professional development for special‑education staff, administrator involvement, and follow‑up sessions to reinforce practice and teacher clarity. The committee received the report as informational; no formal action was taken.
