​​WELCOME TO OUR WIKI! This is a place where we can discuss topics pertinent to East High Special Education Program. Let's start with a tutorial on Wiki's...Please watch the following SHORT you tube video on how to use a wiki.

[]

Now that you have watched the tutorial, it's time for you to share your thoughts on our goal. When you add or change any information on our wiki, please do so in RED  and put your initials next to it. This is what we gathered at our last department meeting.

**NOVEMBER 19th, MEETING NOTES** · Article discussion – There was limited discussion about the article, “Inspiring Motivation From Within”. Hopefully we can try some different strategies to improve student motivation and then share them with each other. · Department goal - The question was asked about who should be taking the Comp. English regents. After speaking with Joe, it seems that all students must take both the English and math regents by their fourth year in high school (no matter what grade they might actually be in). The reasoning is that all students should have taken these 2 exams by the senior year of their cohorts. · Transition Conference – Diane filled us in on information learned at this conference, including having the students run their own CSE meetings. Bill Losinger will be attending our January meeting to speak on a possible IEP review by the state ed. and the results of a recent self-review. It was also mentioned that 2 new job coaches have just been hired by the district – Jill Durkin and Doug Bronson. · Premier Literacy – A presentation was made on this program which is similar to the Kurzweil text to speech program. We will be deciding whether or not to purchase this program for the district. Our next neeting wll be January 11 at 3:30.

**NOVEMBER 23RD EMAIL FROM MARY FRANKLIN:** Just a reminder (thanks Jamie) that we need to update our IEP goals due to the end of the first marking period. Once updates are completed, a copy needs to be sent home and a copy should go into the IEP folder in the Guidance Office.
