What is the IAASE Vision?

• A. Transformative special education leaders who engage, learn, advocate, and act for the growth of students.
• B. To regulate certification for educators.
• C. To provide sports funding.
• D. To publish general education curricula.

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is the vision for leaders in special education. The correct statement describes a forward-looking, action-oriented view: transformative special education leaders who engage with others, continually learn, advocate for students, and take action to support students’ growth. This reflects the purpose of a professional association to develop leadership, foster ongoing learning, and advance student outcomes, rather than focusing on regulation, funding, or general curriculum publishing. The other options describe regulatory duties, funding, or broad publishing roles that don’t align with a vision centered on leadership, learning, advocacy, and student growth.
