Wisconsin Early Childhood Special Education (wi-ecse)
WI-ECSE is designed to facilitate interactive, electronic communication among the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and the state's early childhood special education leadership. WI-WCSE is an open, unmoderated list. It is, however, targeted for early childhood special education leadership including program support teachers and Teacher Trainers. Other leadership such as CESA Regional Services Network Coordinators may want to subscribe.
The DPI Early Childhood Consultants will use this list to provide early childhood special education leadership with:

• Notices of ECSE Program Support Teachers meetings or other meetings relevant to early childhood special education leadership,
• Send out information related to IDEA preschool grant activities, and
• Send out updates and information on state and federal activities related to serving young children with disabilities.
  

The focus of the WI-ECSE is early childhood special education; birth to six, with an emphasis on children ages 3-5 years. It is intended to supplement the Wisconsin Early Childhood Collaborating Partners listserv which is a broad-based listserv to early childhood care and education.
