With support from OSPI, this academy has been developed to support those who have administrative responsibilities to special education. Sessions are designed to support leaders with relevant and timely topics presented by local experts and practitioners.
Each session will be designed to specifically meet the needs of leaders in special education in a “just in time” meeting. A survey has been sent to registrants from last year’s academy to begin to develop the topics for the first sessions. Each session will be facilitated by Rachel Dickson, Director of Student Services, Fife Public Schools.
Sessions will be held via Zoom, 8:30–10 a.m. on the following dates: October 10, 2024 November 14, 2024 December 11, 2024 January 9, 2025 February 5, 2025 March 6, 2025 May 1, 2025 May 29, 2025
