DO you REALLY Specially Design Instruction for Each Student?

Sessions will deconstruct all of the components that go into the instruction IDEA requires us to specially design starting from the Evaluation Team Report (ETR) to how we monitor and report progress. How do you know what to teach? How it should be written and who is responsible? How do you really make it special for each student? How does SDI work in a co-taught classroom? While we'll address compliance and technical components of SDI, these sequential sessions will also provide opportunities to immediately practice and apply learning within a cohort model.



One hour virtual sessions will be held for seven consecutive weeks. Choose either the AM Cohort or the PM Cohort and register here for the series.
