 FY23 Special Education for School-based Administrators Academy (SESBAA): Being the Instructional Leader for Special Education:  Participants will learn what being an instructional leader for special education entails including best practices for improving achievement for students with disabilities (SWD). How is SWD achievement in your building? What are you doing to be a change agent? What are you looking for on walk-throughs? How do you know students are learning? How do you know teachers are growing? How do Individual Education Plans (IEP), Specially Designed Instruction (SDI), High Leverage Practices (HLP), Assistive Technology (AT), accommodations and modifications impact instruction? After registering, participants will receive the link to the CODE session.

This webinar provides information about GaDOE’s Formative Instructional Practices Blended Model of Professional Learning (FIP). Key features include learning to use daily lesson-based assessments at the learning target level and teaching students to be partners in the learning process.

This is our Georgia Department of Education monthly technical assistance session. The Title II, Part A staff discuss the budget approval process along with data collection submissions. There is also a review of Title II, Part A budget attachments and finally the staff share a resource for leading stakeholder discussions on spending data which could also be used as a guide for other data discussions.

Do you have training designed for all staff performing all roles in your LEA? No worries… The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has you covered. GaDOE is working collaboratively with McKinney-Vento.org to provide online professional development and trainings for McKinney-Vento liaisons and ALL district staff. An online platform is accessible to districts beginning August 24, 2022. This training teaches LEAs how to access training and monitor LEA personnel participation, all free of charge to LEAs for FY23! We encourage all liaisons and district staff to complete this training as it will enhance your knowledge of the McKinney-Vento program and it will assist the GaDOE team with establishing material for upcoming technical assistance.

In Novel Engineering, students use literature as a basis for a project to identify problems in the book, design solutions, and then build prototypes. This session guides participants through the execution and effective use of Novel Engineering projects across grade levels. Join Amy Rubin, Media and Education Technology Instructor in Fulton County Schools, for this informative presentation.

Check & Connect is an intervention used with K-12 students who show early warning signs of disengagement with school and who are at risk of dropping out. Mentoring is at the core of Check & Connect by building trusting relationships between the student, mentor, and family.
