View Now: NCSI Learning Collaborative Focus Area Q&A’s

Thanks to those of you who participated in one of the recent Informational Q&A Sessions concerning the National Center for Systemic Improvement’s (NCSI) Learning Collaboratives technical assistance (TA) service. As highlighted in those sessions, the Learning Collaboratives work is a sustained, targeted TA effort — available to every state, despite its annual determination — to support you in the ongoing development and implementation of your State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) and other priority initiatives.

As a follow up to these sessions, NCSI conducted additional Focus Area Q&A Sessions (one for each Collaborative, based on topical focus of the Collaborative) which explored the structure and content of particular Collaboratives in order to:

  • assist you in making decisions about participation;
  • provide an opportunity for you to help shape the priorities of the Collaborative;
  • understand the support you can expect from NCSI and its partners; and,
  • learn more about the rollout of the Learning Collaboratives.

Read NCSI Cross State Learning Collaboratives At-A-Glance for more details about each Learning Collaborative.

Links to recordings for the Focus Area Q&A sessions are below.

States that intend to participate in a Learning Collaborative should submit a CSLC Letter of Commitment, as described in the Webinars. The NCSI team is pleased to offer this service to states in support of your work to improve outcomes for children with disabilities, and is available to provide individualized support to help you make decisions about participation in a Learning Collaborative.
