Professional Learning Opportunities

Tiered Professional Learning

The CDE Preschool Special Education Team uses a tiered approach to assist Administrative Units in the continuous improvement of their programs that includes:

• Pointing AUs to learning modules created by technical assistance centers that can meet learning needs in foundations of universal practices for early childhood professionals
• Providing targeted professional learning focused on specific topics and skills
• Supporting intensive and extended learning opportunities to promote systems change

Our goal is to customize professional learning that optimizes resources to effectively meet LEA professional learning needs resulting in improved outcomes for students. Professional learning opportunities are categorized from foundational to intensive. More detailed information can be found through the links provided below.
