Learning Collaboratives

Our Learning Collaboratives enable states to build networks of shared leadership and peer support. We lead three separate collaboratives, which focus on priority topics related to improving outcomes for children with disabilities. Each Collaborative provides a space for resource sharing, discussion, and engagement.

Effective Instruction Cross-State Learning Collaborative

The Effective Instruction Cross-State Learning Collaborative (CSLC) supports states to build local capacity to adopt and use EBPs and HLPs.

Five Shared Interest Groups are supported under this CSLC: 

  • Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
  • Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
  • Instructional Coaching
  • Secondary Transition and Post-Secondary Outcomes
  • Specially Designed Instruction

General Supervision Cross-State Learning Collaborative

The General Supervision Cross-State Learning Collaborative (CSLC) supports states in preparing for OSEP monitoring (DMS 2.0) and helps operationalize general supervision systems that support effective implementation of IDEA.

SEA Leadership Cross-State Learning Collaborative

The State Education Agency Leadership Collaborative focuses on meeting the unique needs of state special education directors as agents of change. It provides a space for state directors to engage in shared learning to strengthen capacity, sustain systemic improvement, and enable positive results for students with disabilities.
