Resources to Support Teacher Preparation—
Making the Link Between Special Education and General Education

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) confirm that teachers need to be prepared and supported to meet the needs of all learners, both learners with disabilities and their nondisabled peers. In an effort to provide information to those who prepare and support teachers, the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality offers the TQ Connection. This resource, targeted to teacher preparation programs, provides the most up-to-date strategies and research-based practice and policy on how this goal might be achieved.
