SHOUT OUT TO PULASKI COUNTY SCHOOLS!!
What an AMAZING group of teachers! A great day of professional learning about Executive Functions, Positive Reinforcement, and Behavior SDI.
#SESCSERTAC

📸 What an incredible day of learning and collaboration with Harlan County’s amazing special education team!

April Brock and Lennie Feltner had the honor of presenting six sessions packed with strategies, tools, and resources to support students with disabilities. Here's what we covered:

🔹 Session 1: Specially Designed Instruction (SDI)
Educators explored what SDI is, why it matters, and how it differs from SAS, accommodations, and modifications. We also dug into explicit instruction, high-leverage practices, and SDI toolkits in math and literacy.

🔹 Session 2: Co-Teaching in Action
We defined co-teaching and its impact on all learners, examined all six co-teaching models, and discussed strategies for collaborative planning and lesson design. We also explored how SDI fits into co-teaching.

🔹 Session 3: AI for Special Education
Participants learned the basics of AI, ethical considerations, and how to use AI tools to support accommodations, IEP development, scaffolding, behavior supports, and progress monitoring.

🔹 Session 4: ARC Meeting Basics
We covered the language of special education, legal requirements, ARC membership roles, chairperson responsibilities, parent involvement, and how to avoid common pitfalls in decision-making.

🔹 Session 5: Determining Baseline
This session focused on gathering and using baseline data to drive SDI and meaningful progress monitoring.

🔹 Session 6: Indicator 13 – Transition Compliance
We reviewed compliance requirements, key components of transition planning, and how to ensure students’ postsecondary goals are addressed in the IEP.

👏 Huge thanks to Harlan County for your enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment to improving outcomes for students with disabilities. It was a privilege to learn and grow alongside you all! 💙
