That National Association of State directors of Special Education has launched a Web resource, Project Forum, aimed at administrators and policy makers concerned with special education. The developers plan to identify 15 “hot” topics per year and disseminate policy papers on each. Here’s the current list of topics.
- Bureau of Indian Affairs and State Education Agencies Roles and Responsibilities for IDEA
- Deaf-Blind
- Early Intervening Services
- Education Service Agencies
- English Language Learners with Disabilities
- Highly Mobile Children with Disabilities
- Juvenile Justice Policy Analysis
- Juvenile Justice State Infrastructures
- NLTS-2 Synthesis
- Publicly-Placed Private School Students with Disabilities
- Risk Pools
- School-based Medicaid
- SEELS Synthesis
- SEEP Synthesis
- Standards-based IEPs
Hmmmm….I guess I’d consider effective practices to be a pretty hot topic, but perhaps it isn’t among higher-level administrators. I wonder if future agendas will include anything on, say, research-validated procedures. I hope so.
