Overlapping Connections
ESEA IDEAOverlapping ESEA/IDEA Connections
• For children with disabilities: Assessment options Highly qualified teachers Adequate yearly progress (AYP)
• IEP team requirements for regular education teachers: Child’s IEP:
1. Participate and accommodations in state-wide/district-wide assessments
2. How disability affects progress in general education
Services provided in LRE• Coordinated early intervening services: who
need academic and behavioral support to succeed in general education
• Highly qualified teachers

Resource Allocations
“ We want to encourage schools and districts to rethink how teachers do their jobs—how they collaborate, how they use their time outside the classroom, and how they shape professional development programs. When adults have time to collaborate and solve school problems they are going to be more productive and they will get better results for our kids. Teachers need to be at the center of those efforts”
~ Secretary Arne Duncan (2010) [Emphasis added]
