The only data schools in DC have to consider when evaluating their special education programs is either compliance or achievement-based. While useful, this data alone will never move a school to quality – it lets schools know that something isn’t working, but not why or how to fix it. The Co-op’s ELEVATE program uses our Special Education Framework and a process that centers the voices of those who ensure that students with disabilities make progress – teachers and administrators – to create schools that are truly inclusive where students with disabilities thrive.
