Wisconsin Statewide Parent Educator Initiative (WSPEI) Grant

The Wisconsin Statewide Parent-Educator Initiative (WSPEI) is a service for families, educators, and others interested in parent-educator partnerships for children with disabilities through statewide training for districts, families, educators, and agencies around a variety of Special Education topics.

 

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 students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).  Through developed structures and coaching, WSPEI Cooperative Educational Service Agency (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 to create a welcoming, respectful, and supportive culture within the school. The WSPEI Coordinator is not an advocate, but does provide coaching and support to families and schools around the IEP process.
