Project and Programs Across Areas of Focus

School Improvement and Inclusion

The Center on Education and Lifelong Learning works with schools and communities to welcome, include, educate, and support all learners.

“to work with schools and communities”

It is our belief that improved schools result in improved communities and improved communities result in improved schools. We understand the interdependent relationship. Therefore, we see a responsibility to collaborate and connect with community partners if we are to see our mission realized.

“to welcome, include, educate and support”

This is the core of our mission; it defines the outcomes that we individually and collectively value.

Service Learning Initiative provides training, technical assistance, and consultation to Learn and Serve and Homeland Security K-12 schools in Indiana and supports transition of sustainability plans for three STAR schools.

The Indiana Education Project is a collaborative effort with local directors of special education, general educators, and organizations representing families, state education agencies, and community agencies to address global restructuring efforts and to implement effective programs in school inclusion, positive behavior supports, and transitions to support all students.
