Preschool LRE - The Preschool LRE Initiative was designed to assist districts in assessing the quality of educational programs for preschool children with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. The goals for this effort are to increase the number of preschool students served in least restrictive settings, to assist districts in assessing and expanding their current continuum of placements for preschool students with disabilities, and improve the quality of services and partnerships with other service providers.

Access to the General Curriculum - This program is responsible for organizing and conducting professional development and technical support that facilitates students with disabilities gaining access to curriculum and instruction based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in the least restrictive environment.

Indicator 7 - In accordance with the State Performance Plan Indicator #7 (Early Childhood Outcomes), training will assist school district staff in completing the Child Outcome Summary Form (COSF) used to calculate the percent of preschool children with IEPs who demonstrate improved positive social / emotional skills (including social relationships), acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language / communication and early literacy), and use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs.

Positive Behavior Supports for the Preschool Child - This training provides research-based strategies to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures.

TEEM - This is a two-day face-to-face training for districts that are interested in the Texas Early Education Model (TEEM). These two days give teachers an overview of the model.
