Using the KYMTSS Guide, we’ve built a teacher-focused training that can be delivered as a full PD day, a half day, or broken into one-hour segments. The content is ready to go, but during this session you’ll tailor it to fit your school or district.

The training will be held on March 10th from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. at SESC.

This session is designed for leaders who plan to take the materials back and train their own staff. You’ll leave with:

-A customized slide deck

If this would support your MTSS work, we’d be glad to have you join us.

Winter strikes again! ❄️
Due to inclement weather, tomorrow’s DoSE Network meeting has been cancelled. Because most of our session was planned for in-person participation, safety comes first.

The Apple Accessibility and Guided Hands demonstrations will be rescheduled for a later date for those who would still like to attend. Directors of Special Education will receive a follow-up email with this month’s updates and discussion topics.
