Special Education Collaborative Series 2026-27

Special Education Collaborative Series 2026-27
Purpose: To move beyond traditional professional development by creating a space where colleague collaboration meets high-level expertise. These sessions are designed for special education staff (and those who want to bring their general education partner!) who want to stay at the forefront of the Special Education field.

The Experience: Using a unique hybrid model of EdCamps and Learning Circles, we invite you to be both the learner and the leader. We will focus on the relevant content and hot topics, such as the special education legal landscape, evidence-based practices, and social-emotional behavioral health strategies, that impact your role in supporting students every day.

This is a 3 day series. Participants are asked to register separately for each session they are available to attend.
