The statewide RSN grant project is a vehicle through which the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) improves the outcomes for students with disabilities through leadership, communication and professional development. The RSN's role is to support the work of the Special Education team by providing ongoing and systematic communication and regional technical support to the local education agencies (LEAs) in each CESA in the areas of compliance with special education law, improving LEA performance on the State Performance Plan (SPP) indicators and other special education initiatives.
RSN directors attend statewide meetings where the DPI provides updates regarding special education law and Wisconsin's progress on the SPP indicators. The DPI works through the RSN to organize and coordinate regional professional development opportunities for LEAs, such as Indicator 12 and 13 trainings. Information from the DPI is disseminated through the RSN to the LEAs.
The primary goals of the RSN are to:
-
Provide leadership and technical assistance services to all local education agencies (LEAs) within the CESA region in meeting the state and federal requirements associated with the provision of special education and related services to students with disabilities;
-
Improve the LEA performance of the CESA and its impact on Wisconsin's data on the State Performance Plan (SPP) following the Wisconsin Personnel Development Model (WPDM) as well as provide professional development activities for department special education initiatives;
-
Provide regular ongoing communication from DPI to all LEA special education leadership through phone calls, emails and meetings
