CASE Future Agenda for Special Education: Creating a Unified Education System.
Council of Administrators of Special Education, Inc.
This document presents recommendations of the Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE) regarding the development of a future agenda for a unified (regular and special) educational system. Ten recommendations--five addressing policy and five addressing actions--are included, with a discussion of rationale and implications of each. The recommendations are presented as a series of principles, as follows: (1) all stakeholders are responsible for the education of all students in a community; (2) a unified system of education must prevail to ensure quality, inclusive education for all students; (3) accountability for all students is guaranteed through a system of unified outcomes; (4) all educators are prepared to educate all students; (5) funding systems emphasize shared resources; (6) site-based management is the means for building a community of learners responsible for one another; (7) a curriculum framework for a unified system is the means to dialogue about outcomes for planning and organizing schools into learning communities; (8) staff development in a restructured workplace fosters ad hoc problem solving, shared resources, and continuous improvement; (9) all students and their families have access to integrated community services at or near the school site; and (10) all students and staff have access to and training in appropriate technology that supports collaborative decision making.
