Description

 

The purposes of this program are to (1) help address State-identified needs for personnel preparation in special education, related services, early intervention, and regular education to work with children, including infants and toddlers, with disabilities; and (2) ensure that those personnel have the necessary skills and knowledge, derived from practices that have been determined through scientifically based research and experience, to be successful in serving those children.

 

The purpose of the Preparation of Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services Leadership Personnel priority is to support preexisting graduate degree programs and postdoctoral learning experiences that prepare special education, early intervention, and related services personnel who are well-qualified for, and can act effectively in, leadership positions in universities, SEAs, LAs, LEAs, EIS programs, or schools. This priority supports two types of programs: Type A programs are designed to prepare special education, early intervention, or related services personnel to serve as higher education faculty.  Type B programs are designed to prepare special education or early intervention administrators to work in SEAs, LAs, LEAs, EIS programs or providers, or schools.

 

Applicants must identify the specific program type, A or B, for which they are applying for funding as part of the competition title on the application cover sheet (SF form 424, item 15). Applicants may not submit the same proposal for more than one program type.
