IDEA Partnership US Department of
Educations Investment in stakeholder expertise
  • An affiliation of 55 national organizations
  • Collaborating across roles and settings
  • Translating research and policy to practice
  • Solving persistent and complex problems

3
Using Existing Networks to Reach New Levels
of Impact
  • We believe
  • All students are general education students
    first.
  • Members will hear messages from organizations
    differently than they hear them from the state
    or district.
  • An organizations communication vehicles and
    national meetings create great opportunities to
    share information and motivate action.

4
Using Existing Networks to Reach New Levels
of Impact
  • We believe
  • Organizational divisions and state affiliates are
    natural outlets for materials designed by the
    IDEA Partnership.
  • When national organizations and their state
    affiliates work together, information can move
    quickly and with more meaning.
  • When states work with state affiliates of
    national organizations, ideas can change
    practice.
  • Together, states and organizational affiliates
    can tackle challenges to effective
    implementation.
