The Wisconsin Regional Special Education Network (RSN) was established in 1984 and acts as a liaison providing linked communication between the Department of Public Instruction and local education agencies (LEAs). The purpose of the RSN is to support Wisconsin LEAs in advancing the academic achievement and social and emotional competencies of students with disabilities by:
Providing coordinated technical assistance that promotes continuous systems improvement
Fostering collaboration
Developing educational leadership capacity
How We Can Help
The RSN engages in the following essential functions in order to fulfill the purpose of the network:
Support systems improvement and systems change by developing LEAs' capacity to use data for analysis and action planning so that practices are implemented effectively in order to advance educational achievements for students with disabilities within a multi-level system of support.
Develop leadership capacity by providing support and training around technical and adaptive change so that LEAs know the conditions under which effective teaching and learning happen.
Develop collaborative relationships so that LEAs' efforts to promote academic, career, and community-based opportunities for students with disabilities are coordinated and aligned.
Services provided by the RSN are free of charge regardless of CESA membership.
State Performance Plan (SPP) Indicators
The RSN primarily supports the Wisconsin State Performance Plan Indicator 3C. The grant project also supports the following Wisconsin State Performance Plan Indicators: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14, 15 and 17.
