A few highlights:
- We had our opening meeting of the Special Education Advisory and Advocacy Council. Thank you to all who attended and brought ideas, insights, and issues. The next meeting will be on October 6th at 7 pm. See here for more information.
- We also had our opening meeting of the Special Education PTSA. Thank you all for attending and for asking questions that will help to push us forward in our work. Check here for more information about upcoming events, including the October 17th all day family event, "Best Practices For Inclusive Schools" (with special guest Elise Frattura) to be held at the John Stanford Center!
- Remember that Integrated Comprehensive Services is not a "program," but rather a best practice approach to providing special education services to our students. If your student is receiving supports through the "ICS" model, please let us know how she/he is doing. E-mail Marni Campbell at macampbell@seattleschools.org.
- We are doing weekly learning walks to see how special education services are being provided for students in our schools. A Cleveland High School, all students were engaged in high level writing tasks using the Writer's Workshop model. Posted in the main office were purpose statements from the August professional development days that show how staff members are learning to model strategies that work for students!
Thanks to all of our teachers who are working to make classroom learning work for all students!
