| Summary: | To identify promising strategies for full inclusion, the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) and the National Center on Special Education in Charter Schools conducted in-depth case studies of five Washington State charter schools as part of a national study of special education in charter schools. These studies were conducted during the 2018-19 school year, but researchers also conducted follow-up interviews in the summer of 2020 to understand how the schools were responding to the pandemic. Through interviews, the researchers identified strategies that were core to student learning prior to COVID-19 and that remained constant even as schools moved to remote instruction last spring. The case studies also point to challenges that school leaders and policymakers can learn from, including teacher capacity, school scheduling, and funding. This report offers recommendations for Washington State school leaders and policymakers to find a path forward for better educating Washington's students with disabilities. |
