Staff Development for Better Special Education Student Outcomes
The recent influx of funds to U.S. schools from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) creates an unheard-of opportunity to offer staff development that will have a long-lasting impact on teachers and improve outcomes for students with disabilities.
As a well-respected national, nonprofit providing services to students with print disabilities, Bookshare has unique insight into current awareness of accessible instructional materials and use of assistive technologies in the classroom and with students.
To find out how Bookshare could assist with improvements in schools and districts around the country, we asked superintendents and special education directors what was needed in a national survey. As a result of your suggestions, Bookshare is now offering comprehensive, on-site Professional Development Workshops.
