Conversations Regarding New York City’s
Special Education Initiative
“A Shared Path to Success”
Last year, our NYC community schools embarked on a commitment
to increase educational opportunities and improve outcomes
for students with disabilities. Where are we now?
Focus
Hear from a diverse group of panelists including
NYC DOE Leadership, Network Special
Education Administrators, Principals, an IEP
Teacher, Advocate and Parents of children who
have transitioned to school age special education
services.
This informal roundtable discussion will focus on
the philosophy as well as the legal responsibilities
of developing high quality IEPs. Learn how
students with disabilities are educated with a
wide range of supports and services that may
include different types of classes and services for
different parts of the day in their home zoned
school. Learn more about the Common Core
Curriculum.
Hear about the challenges and successful
approaches experienced during the past year by
school communities as they worked to provide
appropriate special education services in the
Least Restrictive Environment.
Continue the discussion on how school
communities can support and welcome students
receiving special education services to ensure
inclusion and positive learning outcomes.
