2015-2016 New Special Education Directors/Coordinators Seminar Series

This new seminar series is dedicated to supporting new Directors/Coordinator during their first, second and/or third year of serving their school district as Special Education Directors. 

Meetings will coordinate with the OACOA Seminar Series: September 25, January 30 and April 22 for the job-alike portion of the agenda. These meetings will focus on current concerns from the field and areas that need clarifying.  Special Education focused seminars are being planned for November 13 and February 24.  Seminars will be held at the Red Lion in Salem. 

The facilitator for the New SPED Director/Coordinator group is Linda Warberg, retired SPED Director of 30+ years and current SPED Department Chair for George Fox University.  She will organize our events and connect new Directors/Coordinators with specialists in the field for further support.
