In this project, teaching teams will focus on raising student achievement of communication standards through utilizing universally designed classroom tools and strategies.
This initiative is open to all ECSE programs for children aged 3-5 years old including self-contained and inclusion sites. Interdisciplinary teaching teams are encouraged to apply together, but individuals may also apply. The application deadline is December 7, 2009.
