Technical Assistance & Professional Development

The Collaborative offers customized Technical Assistance and Professional Development options geared toward improving policy and practice in urban school districts. What we offer is guided by a central tenet: students with and without disabilities benefit from the development of a more integrated, comprehensive system of services.
Ms. Lynne Holdheide, Research Associate at the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality at Vanderbilt University, led an interactive and thought-provoking keynote session entitled “Challenges in Evaluating Special Education Teachers: Linking Teacher Effectiveness to Student Outcomes.” As part of her presentation, she shared the findings of a recent investigation conducted by the Teacher Quality Center on current practices of evaluating special education teachers and projected what changes to those practices might be anticipated. We invite our Members and Associates to view this engaging and informative presentation.
