Welcome!

Seeds of Partnership provides assistance on behalf of the California Department of Education, Special Education Division to support the direction, initiatives and activities that are a part of the State Performance Plan (SPP) related to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Indicators. We aim to create or provide avenues and tools to increase improvement of partnerships and provide professional learning resources that will assist LEAs seeking to improve their family engagement practices and educational outcomes. Seeds of Partnership assists Special Education Division Consultants, LEAs, SELPAs, administrators, staff and families involved in educational programs that serve children with disabilities. We invite you to explore the pages of this site to learn more about family engagement and related professional development resources. We encourage you to share how you have used the tools as an individual or as a team using our share your ideas comment form.

This project is funded by the California Department of Education (CDE), Special Education Division (SED) and is under the auspices of the Sacramento County Office of Education.
