Circles Building Collaborative Partnerships

CIRCLES is a three-team model of interagency collaboration to support positive in-school and postschool outcomes for students with disabilities. CIRCLES Stands for Communicating Interagency Relationships and Collaborative Linkages for Exceptional Students. We will use the acronym CIRCLES across the website.

The CIRCLES project is funded by the Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Special Education Research. CIRCLES is currently being used in Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, and Tennessee. The project is studying the impact of CIRCLES on student in-school and postschool outcomes.
