C-SCOPE is developed and supported by a collaboration of educational service centers and supported locally by ESC Region 19. C-Scope provides the following: Curriculum built on research and best practice; operates in conjunction with digitized IEP’s; provides a sequential lesson structure for all teachers to use, online 24/7 system for access; and provides a basis for building collaborative assessments by grade level/subject area. Implemented in August 2008.
