Services and Supports
Wisconsin Statewide Parent-Educator Initiative (WSPEI) is funded through federal IDEA dollars that help families and educators build positive working relationships that lead to shared decision-making and increased outcomes for students with IEPs and whose success and opportunities have been historically predicted by race, ability, language, or economic status. Through developed structures and coaching, WSPEI CESA Coordinators support district teams to implement strategies that can become systemic, integrated, and sustained so that educators can build the necessary relationships to work collaboratively to create a welcoming, respectful, and supportive culture within the school.
WSPEI Vision: Each and every family and school community will have the beliefs, capabilities, connections, and confidence to communicate effectively, meaningfully engage, and partner to improve systems that ensure student success in all aspects of their lives.
WSPEI Mission: Develop Strong Relationships - Build Effective Partnerships
