College and Career Ready Individualized Education Program (CCR IEP) Training: Improving Outcomes for Students 3 through 21

February 23, 2017

9:00 am - 3:30 pm

CESA 10 Conference Center - Chippewa Falls

Our vision is that ALL students, including those with IEPs, will graduate prepared for college and a career.  But what do IEP teams need to know in order to prepare students who are receiving special education services for college and a career? We know that true college and career readiness is about much more than academics. Our graduates must also have the knowledge, skills, and habits that will allow them to succeed in life after high school. What kind of abilities do students with IEPs need in order to be college and career ready? They should have both the academic and functional proficiencies needed in order to demonstrate independence, self determination, critical thinking, collaboration, leadership, creativity, responsibility, and persistence.

Come and learn more about the Five Beliefs and Five Steps of the process of writing and utilizing the new College and Career Ready IEPs.  Get your questions answered and network with other educators making this meaningful change.
