If you haven’t explored the Monthly Instructional Guides before, February is a great month to fall in love with this resource. Each month the guides provide timely information to help you keep the tasks from piling up. This month’s guide provides tips on student progress, work skills and transition planning, data collection, and STAAR Alternate 2. Review it today.

Also consider taking the TX CAN course, Transitioning a Student from a Self-Contained to a General Education Classroom. Inclusive practices provide better student outcomes for all students. After taking this course, you’ll be inspired to take all six courses in the inclusion series!
