This professional development opportunity will address the unique social, emotional and learning needs of students with disabilities. We will explore the complexities of getting to know your students, yourselves and your classroom to better identify strategies to meet unique learner needs. Teachers will have opportunity to collaborate and share ideas that have been successful in designing lessons and engaging all students. The session will start out as an overview for K-12 teachers and then we will break into elementary and secondary groups to learn more grade level/content specific strategies.
