The DPI is accepting applications for the Enhancing Social and Emotional Skills in Students with IEPs (ES3) Three Year Grant. The goal of the ES3 grant is to provide public school districts (LEAs) with the structures and processes to identify and support the beliefs, skills, and systems needed to improve academic and functional outcomes for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). This is done through direct, ongoing support and a prescribed action plan. The focus population for this grant is students with IEPs that present with significantly divergent social and emotional learning needs. Districts receiving this grant are directly supported by a statewide coordinator and dedicated district coordinator who will guide districts and school based teams through coaching, training, and resources to implement evidence-based improvement strategies to support the growth of both students and educators. Four grant awards are available.
Application including additional information and instructions for submission may be found on the DPI Autism, Emotional Behavioral Disability, and Other Health Impairment web pages. The deadline to apply for this grant is midnight on April 26, 2024. Questions regarding the ES3 Three Year grant may be directed to Eva Shaw at eva.shaw@dpi.wi.gov.
