This interactive workshop guided participants through the process of creating intentional, individualized professional development (PD) plans. Attendees explored tools and strategies to assess current skills, identify growth areas, and align professional goals with program needs and quality standards. Emphasis was placed on reflective practice, goal setting, and tracking progress over time. Participants engaged in collaborative activities to brainstorm PD opportunities, explore available resources, and support one another in building sustainable plans for continuous learning. By the end of the session, each participant had a draft professional development roadmap and strategies to bring their plan to life in a meaningful, manageable way.

A Smart Investment in Quality, Compliance, and Student Success
Every special educator understands that writing a high-quality, compliant transition IEP takes time, collaboration, and clarity around the rules—and Indicator 13 is the benchmark. That’s why we’re inviting teachers and special education directors to prioritize this one-day Indicator 13 training and structured work session.
This is more than just a compliance checkpoint. It’s an opportunity to:
? Increase IEP Quality and Compliance
Teachers will walk away with a clear understanding of what makes a transition IEP both meaningful and compliant. We’ll walk through each component of Indicator 13 using real examples and provide time to upload district self-assessments—all with expert support on hand to troubleshoot, clarify, and coach. This focused time reduces guesswork, increases accuracy, and ultimately helps districts avoid costly corrective action plans.
?? Gain Tools, Tips, and Templates to Improve the WHOLE Process
Planning for transition should be a dynamic, student-centered process. This training introduces practical tools and easy-to-implement strategies to help students take an active role in their IEP meetings, articulate their goals, and build self-advocacy skills. Educators will leave with ready-to-use templates, conversation starters, and activities that improve the whole planning process.
?? Leave with Work Done—Not Just Ideas
Unlike most professional development, this day is designed with structured work time embedded throughout. Participants won’t just learn what needs to be fixed—they’ll get it done. Teachers will be able to revise IEPs, complete the Indicator 13 self-assessment upload, and make improvements in real time with help available. If you find areas for improvement in your IEPs, you’ll have time to hold new meetings prior to the upload deadline.
?? Protect Your District from Corrective Action
When educators have time, tools, and support—they build better IEPs. This day offers exactly that. Releasing teachers for
this training is not a loss of instructional time—it’s an investment in stronger outcomes for students with disabilities and
peace of mind for your district.
Let’s work together to get it right the first time. NO MORE CAPs!

September 15: Meaningful
What’s Your Word?
As the New Year approaches, many of us begin to think about resolutions. This session will introduce a
different approach: One word. In our busy stressed-filled world with tons of distractions, the research
shows that 9 out of 10 people will fail with their resolutions. But one word sticks. No goals. No
resolutions. Just one word that gives you meaning, mission, passion and purpose. One word that
represents the essence of who we want to be rather than a “to do” goal.

October 13: Mindful
There’s Magic in Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing,
and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Mindfulness practices can help
us to increase our ability to regulate emotions, decrease stress, anxiety and depression. During this
session, participants will learn how to access macro/mezzo/micro-opportunities for mindfulness and
create a plan for increasing positivity and mindful practices.

This 6-session series is intentionally designed to first build a strong foundation and then progressively add skills through interactive activities. Each week, participants will have meaningful opportunities to apply these skills in the classroom and return to discuss questions and any barriers to learning.
August 7: From Reaction to Response: Understanding the Brain Behind Behavior
In the first session, participants will gain a practical understanding of neuroscience that breaks the behavior code and develops an adult first mindset approach to challenging behaviors. Topics will include brain states, composure and creating spaces where children feel safe.
August 21: Practicing Presence: Attention, Intent, and Assertiveness in Action
Session two will build on this information and focus on the skills of attention, positive intent and assertiveness. Participants will leave with practical tools for the classroom.
September 4: Behavior by Design: The Impact of Visual Routines
Session three is all about visuals from basic classroom routines to behavior supports and social stories, participants will learn practical ways to use visuals to support learning and prevent and manage difficult behaviors in the classroom.
September 18: Connection Leads to Compliance
In session four, participants will dive into the power of creating meaningful connections and leave with fresh ideas to implement. We will also introduce the power of leading with empathy in all interactions.
October 2: Confident Responses to Big Emotions and Difficult Behaviors
The first 4 sessions lay the foundation for creating consistent, predictable environments in which children feel safe, seen and valued, but young children have big emotions. In session 5 we will add to our toolbox with practical principles and tools to use when challenging behaviors come. Session five we cover teaching moments, choices, consequences, and how to combat tattling. We will use real examples with real language to create teachers who are confident in the face of big emotions.
October 16:Tackling the Tough Ones
Session 6 we will put it all together and tackle difficult temperaments, biting, and noncompliance.
