A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As special education teachers in the resource room, we face significant challenges in meeting the wide range of student needs. From choosing which instructional models will best support our students' growth to creating the best possible learning environment, managing IEPs, and helping students with better behavior and developing much needed self-regulation skills. The demands can feel like a heavy load to carry, and I understand, because I have been there.

And that is exactly why I have designed this one-day seminar specifically for special education resource teachers like you, aiming to inform and inspire you with highly effective strategies and proven techniques to better support your students. This seminar will equip you with a range of tools to enhance your teaching toolkit, making it valuable for both newcomers and experienced educators in the field of special education. Throughout the day, I will share numerous strategies that you can immediately implement in your classroom to better meet the diverse needs of your students and employ best practices in special education resource teaching, and hopefully, leave you feeling like your load has been lightened.

I invite you to join me for this seminar! My hope is that you will leave feeling inspired and equipped to immediately integrate the knowledge gained into your own resource room teaching experience. I very much look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,
Yamiley Jean-Simon
