Implementing effective PD requires responsiveness to educators' needs and the contexts in which teaching and learning will occur. OSDE-Special Education Services is committed to their ongoing mission. OSDE-SES partners with districts in providing educators with professional learning options. Professional development sessions include relevant background information, activities, and/or a presentation for special education and instructional topics. These PD Sessions are perfect to support administrators, educators, and support staff. To learn more about the module descriptions, please view the District-Level Professional Development.
