EVENT OVERVIEW
Join us as we dive deeper into SDI! Anne Beninghof did a wonderful job of writing about SDI, making planning and implementation feasible. We will offer a deeper dive into SDI through this book. There will be four 1-hour sessions. For more details, see what participants from last year said about their experience: -I recognize that what I thought was SDI before was not the same as what I know it to be now. -I have a much clearer understanding of how to plan and create a co-teaching model for our school that will ultimately increase the success of our special Ed students. -I now have resources in my toolkit to offer guidance to my sped teachers -I have enjoyed this book study. I would definitely participate again if another study were offered on a different book. -It was organized and implemented beautifully. The breakout rooms really forced me to be prepared, and I appreciate the think time before being thrown into a room. -I found that the format of breaking down the chapters so that we are not overwhelmed. -Thank you for developing this and working with us. -Great inclusive sessions with varying level leaders and learning. -Enjoyed gaining different perspectives of other admins who are wanting to implement the same in their district.
