Announcing the NEW Regional and Federal Centers Network Website!
The Regional Resource and Federal Centers (RRFC) Network, in collaboration with the Office of Special Education Programs in the U.S. Department of Education, has developed a consolidated database-driven website. This new website offers a robust menu of resources in a uniform format while continuing to reflect the unique character of the six geographic regions.
Rex Shipp, OSEP Project Officer of the Regional Resource and Federal Centers (RRFC) Network says:
"We are collaborating on two OSEP mandated initiatives intended to improve efficiency, enhance the consistency of RRC services, and strengthen the identity of the RRFC
Network, with the intent to reduce duplication of effort, ensure consistent, high-quality responses to requests for information, and improve efficiency in the delivery of direct technical assistance to States."
The consolidated website will allow users to access databases such as the Technical Assistance & Dissemination (TA&D) Matrix, which provides detailed information on the OSEP-funded TA&D projects.
The website is organized in specific sections, including the six Regional Resource Centers and the Federal Resource Center in DC.
The site also includes:
Information Services
Individualized assistance is provided by Information Services, where staff can connect clients to all available and appropriate information resources.
The Topical Information section provides annotated links to information on topics of high interest, such as assessment, early childhood outcomes, and disproportionality.
The Links Directory offers a search function to locate information on special education and related topics.
