positive outcomes for students with disabilities.
Attendance at this institute is limited and enrollment will be done on a
first-come, first-serve basis. This workshop requires districts to send a
team of four individuals which must include a counselor, a special education
teacher, a general education teacher, and an administrator.
The Transition Institute will include a keynote speaker, breakout sessions,
and team action planning. The deadline for registration is May 10, 2007.
Lunch will be provided both days and breakfast will be provided on day 2.
