Supporting Special Education Students 

15 PDPS can be used to document required SPED PDPs for DESE professional license recertification.

One way to support students with special needs is to uncover their strengths. This course offers teachers and administrators an opportunity to learn; 1) who the SPED students are in the school or the classroom 2) how to uncover their strengths, and 3) ways mindfulness and SEL strategies can minimize stress for SPED students. The course final will include a practical application of the ideas learned in the course lessons.

The course content offers administrators ways to provide teachers and support staff with SPED strategies they can use in the classroom. It is useful for observation and feedback conversations and ideas can be included in professional development training.

The course is self-paced and delivered in a .pdf document which includes videos, readings, and reflections. It is designed to be completed in 3-4 weeks or earlier. An experienced online mentor communicates with each course participant by phone to confirm the timeline for course completion and to answer any questions related to the course final. Each participant receives a detailed response to each lesson reflection at the end of the course. No book is required.
