Wisconsin schools are fortunate to serve a diverse student body. We are strengthened by the different voices and perspectives that our students and their families bring to our classrooms.
 At the same time, we struggle to respond equitably to those ethnic, linguistic, cultural and religious differences, and our outcome data reflect our struggle. In Wisconsin, students who are culturally and linguistically diverse are disproportionately represented in special education.
A Systemic Approach
CREATE is a statewide system-change initiative designed to close the achievement gap between diverse students and eliminate race as a predictor of participation in special education.
CREATE will work with local systems to address ingrained school practices that contribute to perpetuating disparities in access to learning. CREATE provides technical assistance and professional development to schools and their communities.
