TA-Live! - October 13, 2021

TA-Live! HLP1: Collaborate with Professionals to Increase Student Success.


In the 2021-2022 TA-Live! series, RMTC-D/HH will dive deep into these HLPs and how Exceptional Student Education (ESE) professionals can use them to improve instruction; however, teachers of the D/HH can utilize these practices through the lens of their specialized knowledge of students who are D/HH.

In order to make the most of your time and increase collaborations, RMTC-D/HH will be “flipping” the TA-Live! professional development series. “Flipped” learning for this opportunity means that RMTC-D/HH will post a video that discusses a specific high-leverage practice with recommended resources for students with disabilities for review before the scheduled virtual discussion. 

For the next scheduled discussion on October 13, 2021 at 2PM ET (1PM CT), participants will be expected:
  1. Read pages 27 - top of page 30 of the High-Leverage Practices in Special Education related to HLP1.
  2. Complete the HLP Self-Assessment Tool for HLP1 on page 2.
  3. Watch the video: TA-Live! HLP1: Collaborate with Professionals.
