Center on Personnel Studies in Special Education
Welcome to COPSSE! Our goal is to enhance classroom practice and improve outcomes for students with disabilities by undertaking a rigorous research agenda that addresses special education personnel issues. COPSSE research—which is available on this site in our online library—provides insights into chronic and pressing special education issues related to beginning teacher quality, effective initial preparation, and the effects of preparation alternatives. (note: this website focuses on Part B and General Ed, but it was suggested that this research could be extended to Part C as well)
Signetwork
The WRRC Signetwork has personnel development resources linked to funding received from OSEP for SIGs and SPDGs. Welcome to www.signetwork.org, your one-stop connection to resources about the OSEP funded State Improvement Grants (SIG) and State Personnel Development Grants (SPDG). The purpose of the OSEP funding program is to assist State Education Agencies and their partners to reform and improve early intervention, educational, and transitional services systems to improve results for children with disabilities. To achieve this goal, the Grants may be used to improve systems of professional development, technical assistance, and/or dissemination of knowledge about best practices.
