RMTC-D/HH Regional Focus Groups & Roundtables for ESE Directors - Information and Registration

RMTC-D/HH is inviting all exceptional student education directors, deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) coordinators, and other district staff identified by the district to participate in one of six in-person regional focus groups and roundtables, which are scheduled for October 19 and 20 and November 2, 4, 16, and 17, 2021.

The focus groups will target issues related to educating students who are DHH in Florida. At the conclusion of the six focus groups, RMTC-D/HH will produce a summary report of the findings for the FDOE’s Bureau of Exceptional Student Education. The roundtable discussions, which follow each focus group, is a time to allow participants to network and discuss issues and concerns with each other, as well as possible collaboration and solutions.
