Breaking Down the Wall Between General and Special Education Teachers in Our Schools: How Organizational Missteps Create Classroom Barriers This Blog discusses the wall between General Education and Special Education Teachers that has existed since Students with Disabilities were fully included in our nation’s public schools in the mid-1970s. Organized in five “columns” (that support the Wall), the Blog identifies bricks that need to be dislodged (i.e., changed) so the Wall can come down. Many recommendations focus on changing staff and administrative beliefs, policies, procedures, or practices. The five columns holding the wall up are: Organizational, Supervision and Accountability, Professional Development and Consultation/Relationship, Instructional Skill and Collaboration/Teaming, and Persistence and Success barriers. We hope educators will read and discuss the recommendations in their educational settings, complete Needs Assessments, and work to eliminate the most-persistent or dominant “bricks” in their walls. . . on behalf of all students. Special Bonus: We share a recent 25-minute Education Talk Radio interview on this topic (October 2, 2024). Read this important Blog.

Schools: Turn $500 into a Five-Year $5 Million U.S. Dept. of Ed School Climate Grant Begins in November: Five-Session Grant Preparation Course with Dr. Howie Knoff (a five-time Climate Grant recipient) CLICK HERE for more Info: https://bit.ly/485V7xb _ _ _ _ _      The U.S. Department of Education’s School Climate Transformation Grant is a five-year $5 million per award open competition for districts across the country. Approximately 140 grants were awarded in the 2014 and 2019 grant cycles, and the next Request for Proposals (RFP) is expected in Spring/early Summer, 2025.      The Grant helps districts upgrade their evidence-based multi-tiered approaches to school climate and safety, classroom management and student engagement, and students' social, emotional, and behavioral success. Grant Proposals must identify a National Expert to help the district implement a proven research-to-practice SEL/PBIS model.      The Grant is very competitive and the Application process very complex. Experience has shown that well-prepared districts intimately understand (a) the many layers of the Grant; (b) how to write proposals matching the RFP (to get the most points from the reviewers); and (c) how to support and submit the proposal. To Help Districts Write a Winning Grant:      Dr. Howie Knoff—who has helped districts receive over $40 in federal and other grants—is offering a five-session virtual/Zoom School Climate Grant Preparation Symposium—beginning on November 8—to guide you and your Team through a successful Proposal-writing process.      During the Symposium—on five 90-minute Fridays through December—he will break the Grant down and help you conceptualize your winning proposal.      All live sessions will be recorded and available on-demand through July 31. CLICK HERE for more Info: https://bit.ly/485V7xb     Once the Grant RFP is released in the Spring, Howie will work with any District that wants to partner with him to write and then implement the Grant (if awarded).   As part of this Partnership, his grant proposal-writing support will be absolutely free. If the Grant is funded, you commit to a five-year partnership. If it is not funded, you pay nothing.
