DEC Recommended Practices-
|
Introduction
As you may or may not know, DEC has been on a journey for several years to ensure that we are a part of confronting the deep disparities that we see in outcomes for children of color with disabilities and their families. DEC is guided by our Racial Equity Point of View to create changes to our policies, practices, and norms, such as the DEC Recommended Practices (DEC RPs), to effect change.
We are reviewing the DEC RPs with a race and ability-explicit power analysis to identify how they are used in the field by practitioners and how they can be improved to address the needs of all children across race and levels of ability. We know they currently do not, and for our process of review and change, we need your input.
Thank you for completing this survey to offer your wisdom as a practitioner in the field. There are no right or wrong answers. What is vitally important is that you speak openly and honestly, and share what you know from your lived experience.
Your feedback is 100% confidential. Your responses will only be seen by our partners at CounterPart Consulting, and no others. CounterPart will share themes, and possibly anonymous quotes with us at DEC.
Thank you for completing this survey by November 1, 2024 If you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Crabbs at kathleen@counterpartconsulting.co or Sterling Freeman at sterling@counterpartconsulting.co.
