We Need Your Help!

Project: Developing FSCP Core Competencies for State Education Agency staff.

​

Method: Using a modified Delphi method, the Office of FSCP will conduct multiple survey rounds with a variety of stakeholders until consensus is reached on FSCP Core Competencies for SEA staff.

SACPIE’s Role: SACPIE members have the opportunity to participate in Round Two and all future rounds of surveys.

• Round Two will be distributed this week via a Google form. The form is a list of Core Competencies. Each Competency includes descriptive statements.
• We are asking you to review each competency and statement(s) and indicate if you would keep it, delete it, or make edits to it - and provide those edits.
• There will be at least a third round, with the possibility of more until consensus is reached.

What are the Promising Partnership Practices?

The State Advisory Council for Parent Involvement in Education (SACPIE), in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), is collecting promising partnership practices from schools, districts, early childhood programs, and institutes of higher education across the state to publish in the 11th annual Promising Partnership Practices. 

​

SACPIE and CDE invite schools, districts, early childhood centers, institutions of higher education, accountability committees, parent-teacher committees, or any other school- or district-based council to submit an application for consideration in the publication.  The purpose of this book is for schools, districts, and other educational organizations in Colorado to share how they partner with families and the community for student success.
