MOTION:
Move, to approve the High Leverage Practices (HLPs) developed by the HLP Writing Team
appointed by the Professional Standards and Practice Committee of CEC, and in collaboration
with CEC, the Teacher Education Division of CEC, and the CEEDAR Center at the University of
Florida.
Further move, that the Professional Standards and Practice Committee (PSPC), TEACHING
Exceptional Children (TEC) and Exceptional Children (EC) journal editors, and Convention
Program Advisory Chairs and Committee will provide recommendations as to how the HLPs will
be incorporated into their work, as well as into CECs other professional development efforts
(e.g., webinars).
Further move, that PSCP will include the uses for the HLPs in the framing paper, which will
develop the future plans for CECs approach to professional standards and practice.
Further move, that CEC develop a core document (print and PDF), to include an introduction,
literature review and the HLPs, as well as recognition of the workgroup members. By August 1,
2016, a budget and plan will be developed to send the HLP document to congressional offices,
governors, chief state school officers, state directors of special education, and other stakeholder
groups. If feasible, the core document will be included as part of a special edition of TEC.
Further move, that by September 1, CEC will develop a plan and budget to launch a microsite
dedicated to HLPs, to potentially include the core document, links to HLP resources, videos and
examples, information on how to implement HLPs in current practice, teacher training
programs, etc.

CECs High Leverage Practices Project Summary


January 2015May 2016
Project:

To develop a set of High Leverage Practices for CEC and its members to inform
their work in research, policy, and practice.

To prepare effective teachers for 21st century classrooms, teacher education must
shift from a norm which emphasizes academic preparation and coursework
loosely linked to school-based experiences. Rather, it must move to programs that
are fully grounded in clinical practices and interwoven with academic context and
professional courses. (NCATE, 2010.)

Center on Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability and
Reform (CEEDAR), University of Florida
