National Center to Inform Policy and Practice in Special Education Professional Development

http://www.ncipp.org

Center Overview

NCIPP is a national center house at the University of Florida (UF) and designed to (a) inform special education teacher preparation policy and practice by examining and recommending to IHEs, SEAs, and LEAS those policies and practices that improve retention of beginning special education teachers, and (b) recommend implementation strategies for policies and practices that provided beginning special education and regular education teachers with the knowledge and skills to effectively support students with disabilities in different classroom settings, including collaborative practices in regular classroom settings.

Methods

We plan to meet this goal through two phases. In Phase 1, NCIPP writing teams conduct research syntheses and policy analysis to inform Phase 2 work. In Phase 2, we evaluate innovative practices and programs and design and provide targeted technical assistance.
