Recent Highlights: The Innovations were previously aligned with the DEC Recommended Practices (2014). As Minnesota moves towards adoption of the National Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education Standards (EI/ECSE Standards) as our ECSE licensing standards alignment of professional development to the standards has become a priority. Using the ECPC Crosswalk of the EI/ECSE Standards and the DEC Recommended Practices, the workgroup developed alignment tools to embed the EI/ECSE standards within the Innovations. Refer to the example from the Pyramid Model Innovation training.
