Tell Congress: I'm Ready!
Share How Your Preparation Program Helped You Become a Great Special Educator
A TED/HECSE/CEC Collaboration
Policymakers in Washington are thinking about cutting funds for IDEA’s Personnel Preparation Program, a leading source of financial assistance for future special educators, early interventionists, local/state leaders, researchers, and related service personnel.
We’re appalled, too!
Join CEC/TED/HECSE to support IDEA’s Personnel Preparation program, which currently supports approximately 8,000 scholars per year across the nation who are preparing for a career in special education or early intervention.
Special education suffers from a decades-long national shortage – there simply aren’t enough special educators. Tell Congress to invest in special education!
Here are three quick and easy ways to become involved:
 |
There's power in numbers! Sign this letter to Congress and the Obama Administration in support of IDEA’s Personnel Preparation Program. |
 |
Email Congress Now! Use CEC's Legislative Action Center to send a personal letter.
|
 |
Tell us your story! Email pubpol@cec.sped.org and tell us how your preparation program made you a great special educator.
