"What's the Big I.D.E.A.?" Training monographs© that align with self-assessmentS
All Texas Local Education Agencies (LEAs) must complete a state-designed Special Education Self-Assessment every year.
The Self-Assessment requires annual Professional/Staff Development on designated topics, termed Compliance/Strategy Items.
Training on some topics is required more frequently.
“What’s The Big I.D.E.A.?”© is a complete system to meet these requirements!
"What's The Big I.D.E.A.?" © is designed to not only cover all required topics but also to explain key information on each topic in a user-friendly format. Each Training Monograph© provides core knowledge for staff from both General Education and Special Education. Clear and concise language makes them suitable for a wide audience, including paraprofessionals and parents.
Training Monographs© are designed to be used together as a system. Most Training Monographs© target a single topic with related topics imbedded to offer a more in-depth discussion of a previously referenced subject or to provide a review and reinforcement of previous learning. A few Training Monographs© cover inter-related topics. Others have targeted sub-topic headings to assure that you meet standards for topics that require training multiple times a year.
As an example, Child Find is covered in a single Training Monograph©. However, it is also revisited in other Training Monographs©. In the Special Education Self-Assessment, Child Find training must occur "more than once" (for Proficient) or "multiple times" (for Exemplary) each year. Using all Training Monographs© together as a Professional/Staff Development system will help your program meet this requirement.
The system is designed for training in Facilitator-Led Micro-Sessions™ and/or Independent-Study Micro-Trainings™. Information is presented in short segments throughout the year instead of lengthy workshops, resulting in improved retention rates and multiple opportunities to reinforce learning.
Professional/Staff Development is required annually or multiple times each year on 21 topics.
LEAs must train on all 21 topics every year to meet the “annual” standard for Proficient!
Requirements are now like other annual topics, such as Confidentiality and Bloodborne Pathogens.
You need a simple solution to meet these significant training requirements!
Your subscription includes the following.
PLUS ... Support Documents make implementation easy!
19 "What's The Big I.D.E.A.?" Training Monographs© address all 21 topics!
IN-PERSON TRAINING:
Because each Training Monograph© is a stand-alone document, one or more topics can easily be covered during a staff or faculty meeting. In Facilitator-Led Micro-Sessions™ (FLMS), participants independently read each section of a given Training Monograph© and then ask questions or seek clarification. This format allows you to cover the required topics more efficiently than in a traditional dedicated "in-service" setting with a presenter and slides.
ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION:
Since Training Monographs© are provided as PDF documents, they are ideal for sending via email or other electronic distribution/access systems for Independent-Study Micro-Trainings™ (ISMT). As a bonus, Support Documents help ensure that you not only provide the required training but that you also document and identify who has been trained on each topic.
PRINT DISTRIBUTION:
Each Training Monograph© is designed to be printed on a legal-size page for ease of reading and to emphasize the importance of the content. If distributing in a paper format, this size is strongly recommended.
