Core Messages
A focus of the State Improvement Grant (SIG), a federally funded grant, is to communicate common messages to the field about selected topics. These common, or core messages, articulate critical research findings and essential components of effective application. All core messages have been identified by experts in the field and have been approved by the California Department of Education, Special Education Division.
CalSTAT, through SIG funds, will support trainings and technical assistance requests that reflect any or all of the core message areas. Click on a core message area below to view a complete listing of the messages and supporting research.
