The RISE website (Resources in Special Education) is a site created for teacher education interns and instructors at Michigan State University. It is designed to provide online resources, support, and answers to the questions, challenges, and issues teacher education students face when educating and working with students with special needs.

The website is divided into six main areas: FAQs, Professional Resources, Classroom Tools, Case Studies, In Touch, and Tip of the Week.

Answers to frequently asked questions about special education issues can be found here, as well as responses to questions that are posed by interns using the website. This section is divided alphabetically by key words. Go to FAQs.

The Professional Resources section provides information and resources about special education in general as well as information about working with parents, families and community organizations; professional organizations; and professional learning opportunities. This section also provides resources and information on “hot topics” in special education. Go to Professional Resources.
