Summary: How do you change the culture and practice of a school district’s special education department? San Francisco is trying to do just that after committing to enacting some of the recommendations of the Urban Special Education Leadership Collaborative audit which found many issues with what San Francisco was doing in special education. Joining me is Richard Carranza, Deputy Superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District, and Cecilia Dodge, Assistant Superintendent and Director of Special Education and SELPA to explain what the District is doing to foster inclusion in all of the schools of the District and how this is going to effect almost every classroom, teacher, and child in the district.
