South Carolina Partnerships for Inclusion provides supports to create successful early childhood leadership teams and can guide team members through key initial activities.
When considering team membership, at a bare minimum, it is absolutely necessary to have representatives from both special education and early childhood education. We also believe that it is critical to have the district's Early Childhood Coordinator and Early Childhood Special Education Coordinator involved.
Group size suggestions vary among the literature (capping at anywhere from 8 to 15 members), however the key is to keep membership to a manageable number in order to encourage participation and promote individual accountability. What constitutes "manageable" for your team may be different from another team.
