Background:
|
Milwaukee Public Schools and Wisconsin Statewide Parent–Educator Initiative (WSPEI) are working together to increase collaboration between families and schools to improve educational opportunities and increase resources for children with disabilities. WSPEI is a Department of Public Instruction initiative supporting the MPS Special Education Liaison for Families (SELF) program. This initiative works to create partnerships between families and educators for students with disabilities. MPS and WSPEI are collaborating to provide resource awareness, training, and information to families who have a child receiving Special Education services in the district. The Special Education Liaison for Families Program trains parents/guardians who want to volunteer their time to support and mentor other parents who have children with special needs to ensure families throughout the district are adequately prepared to help their children achieve long-term academic success.
