Distance Training: Low Tech Solutions for High Tech SuccessRethinkFirst
We often purchase state of the art distance technology yet experience numerous frustrations in delivering services to students who most need it. This presentation focuses on lessons learned by staff of the Special Education Service Agency (SESA). SESA provides instructional support and training in low incidence disabilities, to school district special education personnel, across Alaska’s 54 school districts.
Patrick Pillai, PhD is executive director of the Special Education Service Agency in Anchorage, Alaska. A native of South Africa, Patrick studied Deaf education at Gallaudet University in Washington DC. When he is not working he spends time hiking with his wife and two daughters on Alaska's many beautiful trails.
According to recent research, students with disabilities are significantly more likely to be unemployed or without educational plans in the first two years after high school than their general education peers. Transition planning, required by federal law to begin at the age of 14, is crucial for preparing students for life beyond school. In this presentation, you will learn techniques for preparing students for success once the school bus stops coming--whether it's a summer job or post-secondary employment.
This presentation lists the top performers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector this week. Mickael Marsali is an experience asset manager living in London with extensive experience working in biotech.
