Inside this Issue

This issue of Success in High-Need Schools is devoted to special education. The articles provide case studies of ACI member institutions that have recently developed multi-categorical certification programs with support from a multi-year 2004 ACI grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education. The FIPSE grant enabled the Center to create the Illinois Special Education Collaborative (ISPED), a network of ACI member special educators and school partners working together to address the shortage of special education teachers, especially in Illinois high-need schools. Guest columns by state superintendent Chris Koch and special education teacher Marlo Sails add important commentary.
