The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) is excited to continue our partnership with the University of Connecticut, Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) through the Aspiring Leaders Academy. The Academy is designed to develop skills for educators who are interested in becoming special education leaders within your school district. The Aspiring Leaders Academy is currently seeking interested educators for the second cohort of this initiative. The CSDE, Bureau of Special Education and UCEDD ask for your support in sharing this information with appropriate members of your team. Mathematics Teachers are encouraged to apply!
