Overview
School and special education leaders wishing to develop and support a special education program quickly discover that the process is filled with many challenges. The NYC Special Education Collaborative provides schools with the training, professional development, resources, support and expert guidance needed to create a successful and compliant program.
WHO'S COLLABORATING?
In 2011 a consortium of borough-based special education cooperatives were merged into a city-wide membership organization committed to supporting quality education programs for students with disabilities. This organization, the NYC Special Education Collaborative, focuses on assisting schools with starting and operating successful special education programs. The Collaborative currently includes over 125 charter schools in the New York City area with active membership of school leaders, special education directors and coordinators, counselors/social workers and general education staff.
