Description
Wisconsin Statewide Parent-Educator Initiative (WSPEI) is funded through federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) dollars that help families and educators build positive working relationships that lead to shared decision-making and increased outcomes for all students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Through developed structures and coaching, WSPEI CESA Coordinators support district teams to implement strategies that can become systemic, integrated, and sustained so that educators can build the necessary relationships to work collaboratively towards improved outcomes for children with IEPs and to create a welcoming, respectful, and supportive culture within the school.
WSPEI Vision: All families and school communities have the beliefs, knowledge, and skills to meaningfully engage in effective decision-making to improve outcomes for students of all abilities.
