In order to meet the technical assistance needs of the District of Columbia SEA, Project DC-1 is designed to build state capacity in the area of resource sharing and comprehensive planning across divisions.
MACC will use the "MACC Survey of SEA Practices that Promote Systems of Support for Districts and Schools " [Word | 10 pages] to conduct an initial assessment of key SEA staff's knowledge of these practices and resources and, from there, to track changes in the knowledge of SEA staff that support internal cooperation.
MACC developed this survey to assess the needs of our states relative to the three MACC goals and to establish baseline data on state practices that will assist in planning technical assistance activities and tracking state progress toward meeting those goals. Technical assistance to the District of Columbia will be determined in part by analyzing the needs revealed by this survey.
The District of Columbia State Committee members include SEA directors from Title I and Title III, Special Education, Reading First, Curriculum Development, Assessment and Accountability, and Education Technology and Content Specialists that work with the LEA and the SEA.
