For the Future...
This year's participation in verification reviews has provided SEEDS with rich information. Staff, moderators, and consultants have increased knowledge of special education law, and of the areas of state and federal concern regarding compliance. We have gained insight into what parents think about special education. We are developing skills and tools to better elicit this information in large group forums and we are beginning to examine what this information means. We are developing questions based on what did not happen, and who did not attend various activities. We have had the opportunity to participate as partners with CDE monitoring teams, as they thoughtfully prepared a multifaceted and dynamic monitoring plan. We look forward to the coming year as one that builds on the experiences and relationships developed during this past year.
