Indiana Department of Education

At the Indiana Department of Education, our mission is to improve outcomes for all students by providing equitable access to a strong core curriculum, high quality instruction, unbiased assessments that guide instruction, and collaboration among administrators, general and special education staff, parents, and the community. We use a multi-tiered system of support and Universal Design for Learning to ensure the necessary and individualized supplementary aids and services, accommodations, modifications, or supports are provided to students in order to meaningfully participate in the general education curriculum. We strive to create a school-wide acceptance or belief in shared responsibility, shared accountability, and high expectations in order to comply with the Dear Colleague letter on the provision of a Free Appropriate Public Education (November 2015) and the Every Student Succeeds Act (December 2015).
