The New York State Education Department (NYSED) has released its Blueprint for Improved Results for Students with Disabilities.
This Blueprint was developed in consultation with stakeholders and is
consistent with the mission of NYSED, Office of Special Education -
supported by all offices within NYSED - to ensure that students with
disabilities have the opportunities to benefit from high quality
instruction, to reach the same standards as all students, and to leave
school prepared to successfully transition to post-school learning,
living and employment. As rigor and expectations for all students in
New York State have increased, policy and practices must be adjusted to
support students with disabilities to meet these challenges.
The principles in the Blueprint were
carefully selected as those that are essential to achieve the goal of
improved results. This statewide framework is intended to clarify
expectations for administrators, policy makers and practitioners to
improve instruction to prepare students with disabilities for success
beginning in the preschool years to lay the foundation for
post-secondary readiness and success.
