EI: IEP Guidance

[Download Slides]

Thanks to those of you who joined us for the March collaborative meeting on state IEP guidance. You can find links to the resources we shared below.

We also shared the interest form to our upcoming in-person SEA Workshop in Washington, DC (June 24-25, 2026), focused on lessons learned from Louisiana’s nationally recognized growth for students with disabilities, developed in partnership with Nathan Levenson (New Solutions K12) and the Louisiana Department of Education. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest–the response has been overwhelming, and we have already reached capacity! The interest form is now closed. Official registration details will follow for states whose teams are confirmed.

Testimonials

NCSI has helped our state build the capacity of our LEAs in a way that has directly impacted outcomes for students with disabilities.
State Special Education Director, 2024
I was a new director coming in without a ton of special education training and so I really needed their experience to help me push forward. I don’t think it would have been possible without them.
State Special Education Director, 2023
NCSI has given us a long-term investment in building our results-based accountability system through intensive support.
State Special Education Director, 2023
