Jewish Special Education International Consortium |
Mission Statement |
|
The Jewish Special Education International Consortium is a professional network of Directors, Coordinators and Administrators of Jewish special education services in Central Agencies for Jewish Education. Communities that do not have Central Agencies are represented by a designee of the local Jewish Federation. The mission of the Consortium is to provide a structured forum that will enable professionals in special education to access and disseminate information and ideas on: ● Program models and development ● Specialized curriculum and technology ● Inclusion ● Professional development and support ● Advocacy and Legislation ● Community relations and awareness
Each year, a colloquium is held which provides opportunities for networking and professional growth. An annual newsletter highlights each community’s achievements in Jewish special education and services. A listserv enables members of the Consortium to be in communication, share resources, and provide collegial support throughout the year.
