About the Educational Partnership
Our mission is to support and empower educational organizations, families, and communities to improve equity, access, opportunities, and outcomes for all students with disabilities in New York State.
Our Goal is to:
- provide structure that facilitates systems change efforts and sustainability of those changes;
- encourage and promote culturally responsive-sustaining education that includes families and communities as valued partners;
- promote greater efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of high-quality services to families and professionals;
- create a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team approach focused on principles from NYSED's Blueprint for Improved Results for Students with Disabilities that supports our stakeholders; and
- rely on data-based problem-solving and decision-making as well as the use of evidence-based practices.
