About NCRPC
The North Country Regional Partnership Center (NCRPC) is one of 12 centers funded by the New York State Education Department’s Office of Special Education. The goal of the Office of Special Education Educational Partnership is to create a coordinated statewide network of technical assistance and professional development that improves outcomes for students with disabilities in New York State.
The North Country Regional Partnership (NCRPC) supports all districts in the three “rooftop” BOCES to include Champlain Valley Educational Services (CVES), Franklin-Essex Hamilton (FEH) and St. Lawrence Lewis (SLL) BOCES. The NCRPC provides professional development including training, on-site technical assistance and coaching in the implementation of evidence-based instructional practices and systems that have been proven to improve outcomes for students with disabilities.
The North Country Regional Partnership Centers (NCRPC) is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of specialists that engage in systems change work, providing a variety of supports to families, education professionals, and other interested parties.
