OEC Leadership in Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education Leadership Training Program (OEC Sub-award)
Project Description:
The purpose of this leadership program is to address CT identified needs for leaders in early intervention (EI) and early childhood special education (ECSE) to work with infants and young children with disabilities and their families; and ensure that those personnel have the necessary skills and knowledge, derived from practices that have been determined through scientifically based research, to be successful leaders in programs and systems serving such children. We will do this by developing a high-quality, sustainable leadership development program to increase the capacity of, and retain a network of, leaders at the state, regional, and local level to improve systems serving infants and young children with disabilities and their families. We will provide training to 100 EI and ECSE leaders in CT who, upon completion, will have the knowledge, skills, and competencies to improve the state, regional and local early childhood system serving infants and young children with disabilities and their families.
