2026 Dates to Be Announced Soon!
Come to this exciting event to learn about high-quality teaching and learning that benefits all from the originators of Co-Plan to Co-Serve to Co-Learn™ Teams.
PSEC approaches special education as the catalyst for systems change for the benefit of all students. Rather than fixing special education while the rest of the system stays the same, developing all staff capacity via Co-Plan to Co-Serve to Co-Learn (C3) Teams advances high-quality teaching and learning for all students. In so doing, the PSEC Four Domain Framework and Systems Change Process increases student achievement for all students, including students with disabilities, and eliminates disproportionality in special education.
The PSEC Four Domain Framework and Systems Change Process centers on pragmatic, actionable implementation steps. The steps include developing staff capacity for students with challenging behaviors, students with significant intellectual disabilities, and proactive IEP development.
At this event, teams will:
- Learn about the PSEC Four Domain Framework and Systems Change Process
- Learn “The Why” of C3 Teams and the history behind C3 Teams
- Engage in an analysis of their current teaching and learning structures
- Review the research that supports C3 Teams
- Design draft Principles of Excellence that guide all teaching and learning decisions
- Teams will bring with them a mini High-Quality Teaching and Learning and Special Education audit to analyze
- Receive an overview of The Design and Work of Co-Plan to Co-Serve to Co-Learn (C3)™ Teams, and C3 Team Lesson Design for All
Throughout the event, teams will have access to custom-designed Digital Modules to support their learning.

REGULAR REGISTRATION
Where is the Part I Institute held?
Part of what’s great about the 2026 Part I Institute is that it is held virtually! This allows teams to save on travel costs, which many districts use to send more team members, thus allowing for a robust team, representative of all staffing and leadership levels, to attend.
What to expect?
As co-hosts and facilitators, Dr. Colleen Capper and Dr. Elise Frattura bring a combined history of over 69 years of distance and adult learning experience to the 2026 Part I Institute. We rely on a facilitative learning process where whole group, small group, and individual learning needs are centered, allowing for deep learning, inquiry, critical reflection, and collaboration.
Who is the training for?
We invite Districts with their interested School Leadership Teams or District Leadership Teams to attend. School Leadership Teams without district leadership attending typically does not work out as they need their district on board to do the work.
If you’re not sure if this opportunity is right for you and your team/organization, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@psecteam.org for more information.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Answers to other questions about the 2026 Part I Institute:
Can I attend without a team?
The 2025 Part I Institute builds the “collaborative equity capacity” of the entire organization through team implementation. The Institute relies on intentional teams to learn about the Framework and Process to learn how to bring the Proactive Special Education Consultants Framework and Process to their setting.
An individual or two from an organization may attend the Institute to learn about the work to be able to invite teams from their setting to attend in future.
Will you provide a workshop for our event?
Moving beyond piecemeal efforts, the Proactive Special Education Consultants Framework and Systems Change Process advances systems change–from a deficit to a proactive system.
This Framework and Process is not an initiative, a model, or a workshop. The Proactive Special Education Consultants Framework and Systems Change Process forms the core and provides a framework for all of the organization’s work.
We can provide a one-half day overview of the Proactive Special Education Consultants Framework and Process for districts as a way to introduce the work.
