Training REMINDER
Source: Pam Williams, Coordinator, Services
Intended Audience: "New" Directors of Special Education
Date: May 25, 2006
Recently, you should have received a SELs message announcing the upcoming
Institute for New Directors of Special Education on August 8-10, 2006, at
the Ramada Inn and Convention Center in Jefferson City, Missouri.
If you have not registered, please do so before June 16, 2006.
Important information, guidelines, and registration procedures are
posted at:
http://dese.mo.gov/divspeced/DITraining06.html.
As of this posting, there are 21 seats still
available to those who meet the required criteria.
The institute will focus on core activities that new directors of special
education must complete during their initial months of employment. It will
present basic information in the areas of special education data collection
and analysis, compliance requirements, funds management, and effective
instructional practices. The information provided will assist the new
director in the management of special education procedures and practices
that promote positive outcomes for students with disabilities while ensuring
the rights of students with disabilities and their parents are protected.
Who should attend this institute?*
A "new" director is defined as a person who will be assuming the
position/duties of a Director of Special Education for the first time during
the 2006-2007 school year. Districts planning to hire an individual who has
never been a Director of Special Education in any Missouri school district
or an individual who will be assuming such a position during the coming
school year are encouraged to reserve these dates and submit a registration
to the Division of Special Education as soon as possible.
*Please note: Due to limited space availability, individuals who have
attended this training in the past are not eligible to enroll in this year's
institute. |
