Providing Embedded Special Education Services in an Inclusive Preschool Setting (3 Day Event)
This three day training will provide participants with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively plan and implement a variety of special education services and strategies within a general education preschool environment. Topics will include underlying philosophies of early childhood education, an overview of developmentally appropriate practices, benefits and challenges of a "push-in" model of service delivery, incorporating child strengths and interests, embedded learning opportunities, collaborative teaming, writing meaningful PLAAFPs, goals and objectives, and more!
This training will take place in two "parts". Part 1 will take place over two days and will be back-to-back on August 26 and 27, 2019. Part 2 will take place midway through the year to give participants time to implement strategies in Part 1. Registrants will choose between January 28 OR 29, 2020 for the final day of training. This will allow the presenter to more effectively work with smaller groups of participants in the final phase of training.
