Happy Birthday to the Blueprint for Improved Outcomes for Students with Disabilities!  This powerful document, which provides a map of how New York State can ensure that students with disabilities 1) benefit from high-quality instruction; 2) reach the same standards as all students; and 3) leave school prepared to successfully transition to post-school learning, living and working; was published by the New York State Office of Special Education just a year ago this month.  As we share it in our trainings and meetings, regional educators tell us they have used it to assess their own work and inspire staff.
