Special Education Workshops:
Compliance & Supervision
This session is designed to provide participants with the resources we consider the potential pitfalls of IDIEA, mandated services and other laws related to the education of students with special needs. Participants will identify strategies to monitor and manage special education programs that promote effective instruction and improve the progress and achievement of students with special needs. Additionally, participants will explore the relationship between vision/values and the school’s instructional program and how these impact the achievement of special education students. After assessing the current vision and the performance of the school, participants will identify the goals for positive changes and develop strategies and tools to implement these changes.
Leadership of Special Education in the Small School
Understanding that small schools are not miniature large schools, this session is designed to provide small school leaders with the opportunity to network and share best practices around serving students with special needs in a small school setting. Participants will discuss compliance mandates and instructional leadership challenges including sharing space, identifying external resources and communication with parents/caregivers. The focus will be on addressing the unique aspects of managing special education programs and services and building capacity within the schools.
**The Special Education workshops are being rescheduled and the dates will be posted soon.**
Maximizing Your Budget
This workshop will provide principals with insight into maintaining core instructional programs in face of budget cuts. Participants will obtain understanding of budgeting to survive in bad financial times. Using their own budgets participants will identify core program priorities.
**Continue to check for upcoming dates**
Scheduling & Programming to Facilitate Student Achievement
Designed to take the mystery out of scheduling and programming, this workshop will provide participants with the basics of programming for middle/high school, while addressing the art of possibility when planning for effective use of people, space, time and school resources. A key goal of the session is to help participants understand how an effective program drives instructional practice. (There will be a level 2 of this workshop)
