As school systems navigate rising special education referrals, growing behavioral needs, and persistent staffing gaps, siloed general and special education structures often limit student progress.

Part of the DA Leaders Summer School series, this webinar will equip districts and schools with practical strategies that leaders can implement using what they have immediately on hand to foster inclusive education through cohesive co-teaching practices and student-centered support structures.

Led by a former district special education director and assistant superintendent with over 32 years of K-12 experience, this session will draw on insights from Manistee County and other real district implementations that reimagine scheduling, staffing, and cross-team collaboration.

Unlock better outcomes for all students—even with limited resources.

The 5 Key Strategies: 

  1. Analyze Root Causes: Understand the misalignment between general and special education and its impact on student referrals and classroom climate
  2. Apply ASCCR Framework: Enhance your instructional teams by following the five essential elements of ASCCR: Align, Share, Collaborate, Communicate, and Reflect
  3. Design Master Schedules: How to build targeted scheduling that supports inclusive practices, co-teaching, and data-driven intervention blocks
  4. Implement Leadership Practices: Three ways to better strengthen and align your Gen Ed and Special Ed teams to break down siloes and transform fragmented systems
  5. Create Student-Centered Supports: How to evaluate the effectiveness of current systems and identify opportunities to create cohesive supports that are centered on the needs of all students
