NCISC Collaboratives
NCISC Collaboratives are where district leaders can share ideas and experiences and ask questions in a safe and supportive space. You'll have the opportunity to become acquainted with other educators in similar roles within our 39 North Cook districts and our special ed cooperatives. Guest speakers will also join meetings to enhance the dialogue and open minds to new ideas and opportunities.
