Second Team Training

Well, we finished the second team training. The training was held in Concordia, the training was well attended with over 30 attendees. The teams were eager to begin preparing a plan describing their vision for the team to present to their special education directors. The questions each team faces are diverse, some teams are confident in taking on the role of identifying student with educational autism, others see their role as supporting students and service providers through technical assistance and direct modeling of interventions and materials development. Without regard for how the team will function once they return to their district, KISN is dedicated to supporting those teams in their new roles. For more information regarding team training, please contact Lee Stickle or Jane Goetz.

ESSDACK Training

Wow! We had 47 people attend the training at ESSDACK today, of the 47 we had over 15 genral eduction teachers. That is the largest number we have had thus far. I would appreciate hearing from anyone in attendance to let me know how I can better tailor the information to the general education teacher. As usual, the majority of questions revolved around changing the behavior of the students we serve. I hope that I become more successful at conveying the need to first change our behavior in order to change the behavior of others.
