Purpose:
The purpose of this competitive grant is to strengthen internal coherence and sustainability between IDEA-DA and ISPP supports in order to enhance district leadership capacity, infrastructure, coaching systems, and school improvement efforts. Through this alignment, the grant aims to accelerate progress in narrowing the achievement gap for students with disabilities by ensuring that evidence-based practices are implemented with fidelity, resources are strategically leveraged and supports are embedded into long-term district systems. This initiative seeks to build sustainable structures that improve outcomes, increase equity across buildings and districts and ensure that students with disabilities receive high-quality instruction and inclusive opportunities across all educational settings.
Grant Purpose and Requirements:
Districts identified with a Priority rating on the Iowa School Performance Profile are eligible for support to build district-level capacity and strengthen alignment of processes through professional development.

District plans must include monitoring of professional learning through implementation of district-level EBPs, regular data collection, embedded coaching, and ongoing analysis to support reflection and refinement. Anticipated outcomes include a reduction in the achievement gap between the overall student population and identified student groups, improved overall school performance, and the establishment of a sustainable system of support to ensure coordinated and intentional implementation of building-level improvement plans.

The Spector Craft Prize for Emerging Artists seeks to identify and support exceptional emerging craft artists whose work demonstrates technical mastery, innovative vision, and deep engagement with American culture.
