This a question you’ve asked yourself often as a school principal or other leader. MSD classrooms are very unique, and it is common for principals to feel lost in how to help their MSD teachers grow and improve their practice. Join us for a session that is all about our favorite tool to help in this area – the Autism and Low Incidence Classroom Observation Tool (ALCOT). Administrators will learn about the components of the ALCOT, how to use it for coaching, and explore resources to help MSD teachers grow in identified areas. Three hours of EILA or PD credit will be awarded for attending this in-person session. For questions, contact claire.johnson@ckec.org
