Individualized Education Plans (IEPs): Required Elements - This webinar discusses the purpose of an IEP, the required contents of an IEP, required IEP team members, how the sections of the IEP are interconnected. Resources to aid in the development of IEPs are incorporated into the presentation. This session includes the recorded webinar, transcript, handout, and a discussion guide that can be used during the presentation to facilitate conversation about the content. These materials can be used to supplement professional development programs aimed at increasing the knowledge of general and special education teachers regarding the special education process.

This video demonstrates how the representation connects to the explicit trade algorithm and how this algorithm connects to the traditional algorithm.

This video demonstrates division by grouping using a representation. It also makes a connection to the abstract using the explicit trade algorithm.

This session will focus on the cognitive and language components necessary for successful reading and writing. It will also provide a comprehensive evaluative framework to assist school based teams to evaluate struggling readers. The session will provide steps to identify and select evaluative tools and how to use the data collected to craft instructional recommendations. Based on the ‘science’ of reading (reading research) this session will demonstrate how the team will review data gathered, review and analyze evidence based instructional programs and then match the child´s skill needs with the specific instructional components to craft a targeted and focused reading approach that meets the child´s specific strengths and needs.

Many Communication Plans state the student who is deaf or hard of hearing utilizes Pidgin Sign English (PSE) as their primary mode of receptive communication. PSE is rich and complex, and is often used in complicated communication environments including elementary, middle, high schools and college level classrooms. Educational interpreters must analyze content and materials to be used in order to order to predict the variety of discourse structures that a teacher might use in a given lesson. This “hands-on” workshop will provide participants with examples of high quality effective interpretations presented in PSE in the educational setting, as well as, opportunities to interpret similar classroom content using PSE.
