CDE will convene stakeholder groups for the review of the following endorsement areas for possible updating of the preparation standards:
- Special Education Generalist
- Special Education Specialist
- Special Education Director
- Early Childhood Special Education
- Early Childhood Special Education Specialist
The first meeting will be held virtually at 8 a.m. on Friday, March 3, and will require a full-day commitment. Additional meetings are scheduled for March 31, April 7 and May 5.
Complete the interest form by Friday, Feb. 24.
District/BOCES hiring managers, district/BOCES special education directors/leaders, special education and early childhood special education teachers, representatives from institutions of higher education and designated agencies are invited to participate in the conversations. Groups will be designed to include a broad representation of stakeholders, yet limited in size to allow for rich conversation and input.
