About this Course

In this course, we will explore specific challenges with the evaluation process and share practices and strategies that will help you ensure that your ETRs are compliant and that they can meaningfully inform the IEP to ensure appropriate services for students! The course is divided into separate modules. Within each module, there will be a video to watch, resource handouts, and a reflection question. You'll want to have the resources handy (especially the Record Review Indicators) to maximize your learning.
