SELPA System Improvement Leads
The purpose of the SELPA System Improvement Leads (SIL) Project is to work collaboratively within the Statewide System of Support to build the capacity of SELPAs and LEAs with a common goal to improve outcomes for students with disabilities. If partnerships are built between SELPAs, LEAs, COEs, Statewide Leads Agencies, the CDE, and the CCEE and the capacity of SELPAs is built to support LEAs in 1) data use and governance, 2) continuous improvement, and 3) implementation of high leverage practices; then SWD will have access to cohesive and effective school systems intentionally designed to provide the necessary supports and interventions for educational and post-secondary success.
The SELPA Improvement Leads are:
- El Dorado County SELPA
- Riverside County SELPA
- West San Gabriel Valley SELPA
SELPA Content Leads
SELPA Content Leads will further develop the capacity of SELPAs to support the LEAs they serve in developing and implementing evidence-based practices for students with disabilities in particular areas of need.
The SELPA Content Leads are:
- Marin County SELPA
- As a Content Lead, the Marin County SELPA works in partnership with the California Autism Professional Training and Information Network (CAPTAIN) to scale up the use of evidence-based practices.
- Placer County SELPA
- The Open Access Project, which focuses on Universal Design for Learning, Assistive Technology, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication strategies, is operated through the Placer County SELPA.
- South County SELPA
- South County SELPA brings together teachers, special education providers, parents, and district administrators to confidently and proactively address the issue of disproportionality in special education.
- Imperial County SELPA
- Imperial County SELPA is committed to be of assistance to the statewide system of support by offering collaborative consultation services to SELPAs who have identified needs associated with improving outcomes for English learners with Disabilities, and provides statewide in-person and virtual training opportunities for teachers, teacher-leads/coaches, support personnel, general and special education service providers, and administrators.
