The video and Q&A of the March 5, 2008, webinar is now available at http://dese.mo.gov/divspeced/mnthlywebstrmHAL.html.  The topics included:  Response to Intervention (RtI), discipline, IMACS, and educational surrogates.

Note - the Q & A includes a SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE to Answer #14 from the February 6, 2008 webinar, regarding the evaluation report conclusions when RtI has been in an LD eligibility determination.

Please note that the video of each webinar is posted on our website shortly after the webinar; you do not need to wait until you receive the SELS announcement about the posting before viewing the video, as the SELS announcement is really to announce that the Q&A has been posted.

The next webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, 2008, from 11:45 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.  A reminder will be sent closer to this date along with the web address needed to access the webinar.

If you would like to submit a question or topic for a future webinar, please send to: lina.browner@dese.mo.gov (indicate "Webinar" in the subject line of the email).  Please ensure your questions are not specific individual children questions, but rather are more systemic in nature.

Thank you so much for your participation and feedback.
