2023 Special Education Innovative Learning Accelerator Grant
2023 Special Education Innovative Learning Accelerator Grant
Across the country, and here in CMSD, scholars with disabilities have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These impacts have been academic as well as functional and social-emotional. However, we know from our 2022 state report card data that these students are fully capable of recovery and acceleration. They did not lose the ability to learn; what was lost was time. Recovery will need to be a comprehensive, long-term commitment. As part of the District's recovery strategy, federal funds are available for schools and teams who are ready to extend learning time for students with disabilities, to give them additional time and attention now. At the same time, there is an opportunity to connect special education with the District’s Post-Pandemic Learning Vision and Profile of a Graduate in a small, safe practice environment.
