A great day of learning and collaboration! 💙

April Brock and Lennie Feltner spent the day with special education teachers from across the SESC region for our Regional IEP Guidance Document Training.

We worked through everything from Present Levels and measurable annual goals to services, supports, and making sure the pieces of the IEP truly align. The group brought great questions, thoughtful conversations, and lots of collaboration throughout the day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We always enjoy bringing educators from across our region together to learn, share ideas, and strengthen practices that support students with disabilities.
