Special education is primarily supported through the Special Education Council (SEC). The goal of the SEC is to improve instruction for all students who have been identified as having special needs. Council members include special and general education teachers, school counselors, paraprofessionals, social workers, and administrators. SEC members meet monthly and collaboratively complete case scenarios. Through this process, members develop pedagogical skills and learn effective strategies to implement in the classroom. SEC members also participate in inter-visitations to share best practices. Also, additional support is provided by on-site consultation with CUNY facilitators.
