Technical Assistance Projects

Technical Assistance Implementation Projects are individually designed to meet specific LEA or SELPA needs. Projects are designed to provide in-depth content training and multiple levels of follow-up support including hands-on coaching and technical assistance with on-site collaboration. These projects include multiple service days that may be interspersed over a period of weeks, months or several years to ensure sustainability and scaling up.

General Requirements:

• Evidence of administrative support for the project must be provided
• Participants must be part of district, SELPA or County Office of Education team
• All participants must commit to fully participate in the training project and agree to "homework" and attempting recommendations/strategies between sessions

How to request:

Due to our time commitments, projects are available on a limited basis. If you have an idea or a need for a technical assistance implementation project and would like to start something this year, please contact the Diagnostic Center Director, Gloria Mau at 510-794-2500; gmau@dcn-cde.ca.gov. Depending on your request, we may be able to initiate a project this school year.
