Baltimore City Public Schools

Baltimore City Public Schools works to ensure that all students graduate from high school ready for college, career training, and life success in the 21st century. Through its Early Learning Programs for Young Children with Special Needs, City Schools is:

• committed to ensuring academic excellence in every classroom of every school so that all students with disabilities achieve educational benefit in the least restrictive environment,
• devoted to intervention and progress monitoring to ensure accurate identification for special education services, and
• committed to promoting high expectations and outcomes for students who receive special education services.

In continuing to execute successful support for children with special needs, the early childhood leadership in Baltimore City has partnered with SRC to ensure the highest-quality educational experience for every pre-kindergarten and kindergarten child in the City Schools. Through our partnership, School Readiness Consulting supports BCPS’ use of our customized early childhood instructional coaching model, advises on the development of the early childhood professional development system, and provides professional learning for the leadership and coaches that are part of the Early Learning Support Team.
