CIRCLES: Teaming to Build Collaborative Partnerships

CIRCLES is a multi-level model that includes interagency collaboration and teaming as key components to help ensure students are connected with the services and supports required to be successful in post-school life. This webinar will provide an overview of CIRCLES – Communicating Interagency Relationships and Collaborative Linkages for Exceptional Students – including information about the multi-level teams and process. Arkansas Transition Services will discuss how CIRCLES is being scaled-up across Arkansas. We will share how CIRCLES has been implemented over the past five years in two districts. Outcomes of implementation will be shared.
