Focus: Special Education - Meeting the needs of diverse learners

We are looking forward to our professional learning next Monday, January 15^th.  The focus of our learning will be around all teachers and staff working together to meet the needs of diverse learners.  Outcomes include a deeper understanding and implementation of the belief of ‘all students’ and maximizing our collaboration structure to support diverse learners

We will have morning and afternoon general sessions for all staff in the HS Auditorium.  There will be breakout sessions as well as team time to consolidate our learning and plan for implementation.  This professional learning is for all staff, and special education associates are invited to join in the learning for the day. 

The schedule and registration information is below.  The schedule is now available for you to determine which breakout sessions you may want to attend.  Space is limited, and many of the sessions are offered more than once.

To learn more about each session, you can either place your mouse over the session title on the list or click the session to see more information about the presentation as well as the speaker.  To sort sessions, you can use the filters along the right hand side to better plan your day.

On Wednesday, January 10th at 4pm, registration will open for each session.  Please preview the session list and identify 1 or 2 options for each session time to attend.  Sessions may fill quickly so we have worked hard to offer sessions multiple times on a variety of topics. Specifics on registering for sessions may be accessed anytime after 4:00 PM on Wednesday, January 10th on the registration page.

We look forward to a great day of learning and growing on January 15th!
