The Structured Special Education Classroom for Students with Autism & Complex Access Needs Regional PLC Cohort #7 25-26

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

Join us for a dynamic day of learning, sharing, and growing together!
This workshop is part of an exciting ongoing cohort designed to support teachers of students with autism and/or complex access needs. Through interactive discussions, application, and meaningful reflection, you’ll explore new ways to strengthen your classroom strategies. Using the Rubric of Effective Practices as our roadmap, we’ll dive into research-based strategies that make structured special education classrooms thrive. You’ll collaborate with fellow educators, swap ideas, and build actionable plans you can take back to your classroom right away. To take things even further, you’ll also experience the Onboarding Mentor’s Guide for Educators modules, which connect directly to our workshop topics and give you fresh, practical tools to use. This isn’t just a training—it’s a chance to connect, recharge, and leave inspired with new strategies and a stronger support network!
