SLD Rule for Administrators
Presenter: Peggy Roush, DPI Education Consultant - Specific Learning Disability
With over 20 year of experience in education, Peggy has spent her professional career in districts both large and small across the state and is now enjoying her position on the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Special Education team. She is an experienced special education teacher, regular education teacher and school psychologist. Peggy has a long history of providing professional development opportunities for adult learners on a variety of education-related topics locally, state-wide and nationally. Peggy’s current professional interests revolve around increasing academic achievement for all students through technology applications in education, universal design for learning, response to intervention, and improving children’s mental health and well-being.
Target Audience: Special education directors and coordinators, pupil service administrators, principals and similar administrative staff.
This training is not designed for school implementation teams. Full day trainings will be offered beginning in the Fall of 2012 for school-based teams comprised of classroom teachers, reading specialists, special education teachers, school psychologists and other related school staff.
What to expect: This half day workshop will provide guidance for implementing Wisconsin’s revised SLD rule through the administrator’s perspective of leadership for school improvement. Using PowerPoint presentation, discussion, handouts, and case study activities, participants will be able to:
• Understand the essential components of the SLD rule.
• Guide staff in finding and evaluating research-based interventions and progress monitoring tools for applicability and efficacy.
• Distinguish the difference between Response to Intervention and what the SLD rule requires of schools.
• Implement the school wide notification requirement.
• Recognize administration’s role in monitoring fidelity.
• Understand the importance of collaboration in implementing the SLD rule and guide school staff in assuming their individual roles in the process.
