With the implementation of Special Education 2000, a new policy on special education, New Zealand has moved to develop a world-class inclusive education system for students with mild to moderate learning and behavior needs. This article outlines a professional development program for a group of resource teachers who are implementing a major element of the policy. The authors report on the establishment of the training program through the collaboration of faculty from three universities. They also comment on the challenges to such a program, the ways in which these challenges were met through collaborative problem solving, and some outcomes to date.
