About

Digital Promise seeks to collaborate with district leaders and general and special education teachers to test our strength-based whole child IEP professional learning program based on the research-based Learner Variability Navigator (LVN) and the IEP Project Guidebook to Create Strength-based and Whole Child IEPs. We plan to work collaboratively with district leaders as well as general and special education teachers in at least 3-4 schools (preferably in different districts) with 2-4 special and general education teachers per school to pilot our strength-based whole child IEP professional learning program and that includes LVP’s IEP Project Guidebook to Create Strength-based and Whole Child IEPs.


This working group will run from May 2024 - August 2025.


Digital Promise will provide schools that participate $1,000 and teachers $200 gift cards.
