A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

In the face of growing skills gaps, our instinct as teachers is often to re-teach lost skills. But we now know that using this approach can cause our students with special needs to lose even more academic ground. The more time is spent relearning old skills, the less time is spent learning new concepts. With this approach, our students with special needs fall further and further behind their peers.

Research now tells us that there is a better solution to this challenging issue – helping our students make more rapid progress, not remediating!

I have designed this seminar specifically to equip you with the skills, strategies, and resources to rapidly improve the educational outcomes of your students with special needs. In our day together, you will learn how to create a classroom environment where students with special needs quickly make academic gains through engaging and meaningful lessons from grade-appropriate curriculum. I want to provide you with a wealth of ideas that will help you make a real difference in your students’ outcomes at school and beyond!

I invite you to join me for this fast-paced, resource-rich, and strategy-packed seminar. I am excited to share highly effective and practical ideas based on my unique experiences as a special education teacher, teacher trainer, and author. I can’t wait to share dozens of practical ideas and strategies you can use right away to rapidly improve the learning of your students with special needs!

I look forward to meeting you at the seminar!

Sincerely,
Nicole Eredics
