Preschool Improvement

Program Overview

Systems Innovation & Improvement and Professional Development: We have a highly accomplished team of early childhood special education experts, known for collaboratively crafting high-quality inclusion systems for preschool children with disabilities. Skilled in data driven strategic planning, evidenced based practices, instructional coaching, CLASS, and Pyramid Model, we are well equipped to support systems through collaboration with both district leaders and educators. We are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of support for the development of every child, fostering an inclusive and effective learning environment.

Primary Areas of Focus: 

  • Enhance development and implementation of Individualized Education Programs (IEPS) 
  • Increase the percentage of children with IEPS in the regular preschool program as indicated by APR Indicator 6 data 
  • Improve preschool outcomes as indicated by APR Indicator 7 data.  

Preschool Improvement’s Impact

CLEE partners with school districts throughout Tennessee to foster inclusive and effective preschool learning environments for students with disabilities. We believe that the work we do will show an increase in educational environment (APR Indicator 6) and early childhood outcomes (APR Indicator 7). 

Preschool Improvement programs are currently available in the following Tennessee counties (counties in orange have programs; the darker the orange, the greater the number of programs in that county).
