Special education is a continuum of services and supports designed for children with disabilities. All children, however, have learning differences and a variety of needs. Our success as educators is measured against the achievement of all children entrusted to our care. Each school within the Cleveland Metropolitan School District has the responsibility for educating all its children, preparing its children for a place in their community.
Research confirms that the most effective schools are those that design a system of integrated service delivery models that provide targeted interventions, opportunity for enrichment, and positive behavioral supports for both general and special populations. Through teamwork, collaborative problem-solving, a focus on student learning, and a belief that all children have a right to quality education, we will ensure educational opportunity for all. We strive to recognize and protect the dignity and worth of all children in our school communities.
We will ensure that no child is left behind. Resources
