This is not a typical “sit & get” workshop! In this training, district teams will utilize their current data to analyze how students are being served and what supports might be needed to increase student performance. Teams will develop action steps to implement based on the evidence-based practices and program evaluation tool contained in the document.
A prerequisite video will provide an explanation of the NASDSE guidelines, Optimizing Outcomes, and how to utilize the Program & Service Review Checklist. This will provide the foundational information needed for the live (virtual) training. Materials and the pre-session video will be posted on March 1, 2021.
