Our vision, crafted in partnership with the executive team at San Luis Valley Board of Cooperative Educational Service( SLV BOCES) is to offer the SPED endorsement as both an alternative and traditional pathway to licensure. Such an approach will better serve the needs of rural school districts within and around the San Luis Valley region of Colorado, while also providing greater access to licensure pathways in SPED to school districts and BOCES across the State of Colorado.
