Collaborative Support Teams Initiative
The Illinois State Board of Education, in cooperation with
state agencies, has developed Collaborative Support Teams
to assist early childhood programs in a variety of ways in
order to help build a system through collaboration that enables
all children to achieve the Illinois Early Learning Standards.
The Collaborative Support Teams (CST) are designed to assist
Early Childhood Block Grant recipients, programs for child
care, early childhood special education, bilingual education,
and/or Head Start programs, with technical assistance or support
in forming or strengthening partnerships at no cost.
