COOR Professional Learning Events
The Student Support Team will work collaboratively to address a variety of factors that influence the whole child, specifically focusing on the non-academic needs of learners.
Research on effective practices for supporting student needs demonstrates how such supports not only lend to the general success of the learner, but also how they can address the many needs that students have that will enable learning and academic progress.
The Student Support Team will ensure that the proper supports are in place to enact the necessary changes with the implementation and/or sustainment of systems at the ISD and district level.

Individual education programs — commonly called “IEPs” — are critical to ensuring that students with disabilities have access to a free and appropriate public education. Created with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Office of Special Education (OSE), these modules explore the procedural and substantive aspects of writing IEPs that are both compliant with the law and meaningful to individual students with disabilities. You will learn the ins and outs of drafting an IEP, assembling an IEP team, and supporting students with a plan tailored to their individual needs.
Participants will watch the module (10 modules total) prior to the virtual module study date. Each individual module varies in duration..
The virtual meetings will be facilitated by ISD staff where we will unpack what we learned in the module. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and share best practices used within their home districts.
