From Fragmented Supports to Coherent Systems: Rethinking Special Education at the District Level

Dr. Ronald Taylor sits down with Christopher Sanzeri from Elgin Area School District U-46 to explore how districts can move away from fragmented, supplement-heavy special education models toward coherent, aligned curriculum systems.

The conversation covers U-46’s shift to resource-first curriculum design, the launch of the Multi Abilities Classroom (MAC) model, and how coherence, teacher autonomy, equity, and thoughtful use of AI can coexist in real district settings.

A practical listen for anyone leading special education, curriculum, or instructional systems work.
