The CDEP plan, among others, works hard at integrating children with disabilities into the schools. The Monticello School District hopes to do this through the following programs:

• Staff training: to work as co-teachers in an inclusive classroom, providing training for staff who will be working with students returning to the district from a BOCES setting, and training  in differentiated instruction. 
• Prevention programs: how to help students before it's too late
• Improved achievement: Special education teachers and regular education teachers have received training to support this goal in differentiated instruction, content area, and curriculum alignment. This includes the Wilson Reading Program. 
• Improved Environment: Teachers have received training in behavior management techniques, analysis of behavior in order to develop behavior support plans, and creating multi-cultural, nonbiased classrooms.
