The Improving Transition Results Workshop will provide an understanding and clarification of transition assessments and how to gather assessments needed for students age 14 and up. Staff, teachers and AEA staff will learn how to access and use the matrix designed by the Iowa Department of Education. Participants will review IEP design and the six critical elements required to meet the State Performance Plan (i.e., special education indicators 13 and 14). This training is appropriate for middle and high school special education teachers.
Please Note: This is the same course offered in October 2008. Heartland is offering this course for those who were unable to participate in October. If available, please bring your computer to the training. We will be accessing the Iowa Assessment Matrix.
The workshop will be offered May 8, 2009 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Heartland AEA Johnston Office, Rooms 3 & 4.
