Northeast Special Education Leadership Series- Fall Meeting
Date/Time
11/21/2019 - 11/22/2019
Event Description
BACKGROUND
 
For many years the Regional Resource Centers (RRCs) organized and supported two meetings of state directors in the region each year. A  Dispute Resolution staff coincided with one of the meetings.  With the close of the RRC Program, NASDSE is convening and facilitating this important interaction through an annual subscription to the Northeast Special Education Leadership Series. Based on input from state directors, the 2019 and 2020 series includes three meetings: two of State Directors of Special Education and a separate meeting of state Dispute Resolution staff.
 
SUPPORT PROVIDED BY NASDSE
 
Each Forum will be hosted over two days.  Meetings of State Directors will be held in the Fall and Spring. The participating states will set dates. The meeting of Dispute Resolution staff will be held at a time mutually agreeable to participating states.
 
The agenda will be developed with the participants to meet their needs and enable them to learn from and with each other about current and emerging issues.  Joanne Cashman will serve as the organizer and onsite facilitator of each Forum.
