PROGRESS Center
The PROGRESS Center supports educators and leaders responsible for the development and implementation of high-quality individualized education programs (IEPs) and instructional programming for kindergarten through transition age students with disabilities.
The PROGRESS Center provides information, resources, and support for local educators and leaders to develop high-quality IEPs and instructional programming that ensure students with disabilities have access to free appropriate public education (FAPE) that enables them to make progress and meet challenging goals, consistent with the 2017 Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District decision by the United States Supreme Court.
What We Do
The Center supports local educators and administrators by:
- Developing a robust knowledge base about what works to improve outcomes students with disabilities and barriers that educators face through reviews of research, policy, practice, site visits, and discussions with a diverse group of stakeholders;
- Partnering with a select group of local educators to build capacity to deliver high-quality special education programs; and
- Providing tools, resources, and training materials for educators, leaders, and families through our website, www.promotingPROGRESS.org and universal technical assistance offerings.
From 2019-2025, The PROGRESS Center was funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs.
