HOT OFF THE PRESS
Two of the newest products on the CPIR site are a Korean glossary on special education terminology as well as a Spanish glossary (see parentcenterhub.org/glossaries). The latest version includes terminology on transition to adult life. Parent Centers are free to add their other resources as well. The resources on CPIR are constantly being updated so check it out!
Recently, a U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services blog "Informal Removals Matter," highlighted some of the discipline resources from CPIR at sites.ed.gov/osers/2023/02/discipline-discussions-informal-removals-matter. The entire Discipline and Behavior Series can be found at sites.ed.gov/osers/category/discipline.
