CITES 2.0 Intensive Technical Assistance

Cohort States

CITES is excited to partner with three states selected to be in our National State Cohort:

Each state team in the CITES Cohort is made up of leadership representatives from across the state, including leaders from the state education agency (SEA), assistive technology (AT) centers and other stakeholder groups, such as parent centers. Technical assistance products and services developed in partnership with the CITES Cohort will be available nationally.

With the Center’s technical assistance, each state’s team selected its district partners, and will launch the implementation of the CITES Framework with support from the CITES team. The district partners are:

Targeted Technical Assistance

Cohort 1 Districts

CITES is honored to collaborate with seven innovative districts in our newest national cohort. Each district has assembled a cross-functional team—bringing together leaders in Assistive Technology (AT), Educational Technology, Information Technology, Curriculum, as well as families and guardians—to implement the CITES Framework. Together, they are building inclusive technology systems that ensure every learner has access to meaningful learning opportunities.

The participating districts are:

CITES 1.0 Framework Development

Cohort Districts

The initial development of the CITES Framework included the long-term commitment of six CITES Framework Development Districts, which tested  evidence-based practices and provided cyclical feedback on what works to build an inclusive technology ecosystem. These districts' input  informed the development of the CITES Framework from 2020–2023.

Knowledge Development Districts

In addition, Knowledge Development Districts served as exemplars in one or more areas of inclusive technology implementation and helped inform the development of the CITES Framework.

The Knowledge Development areas and their exemplar districts were:

Family Engagement

Infrastructure

Teaching, Learning, & Assessment
