Diversity at CEC
The Council for Exceptional Children is dedicated to ensuring
students
with disabilities and/or gifts and talents from diverse cultures receive
high quality educational services. To achieve this goal, CEC works both
with policy educators and legislators at all levels to develop programs,
policies, and initiatives that promote:
- Educational practices that appropriately identify students from
diverse cultures who receive special education and/or gifted services.
- Assessment practices that accurately reflect cultural differences.
- Education services that provide effective interventions for
students from diverse cultures.
- An increase in the number of diverse teachers, administrators, and
university faculty from diverse cultures.
- Professional development to improve the cultural competence of all
educators.
CEC is equally committed to welcoming and encouraging the leadership and
involvement of members from diverse groups in the association. CEC has
designated positions on the CEC Board of Directors for members of
diverse backgrounds, a diversity committee, caucuses, and a division
that focuses on cultural and linguistic diversity. In addition, CEC
actively recruits special educators of diverse backgrounds for
membership and has several avenues in which they can become involved in
the Council's activities.
