Home E Events E Annual Educational Team Leaders Seminar

This annual ETL (Educational Team Leaders) Seminar is offered for people from Massachusetts who chair IEP team meetings. Each year, we will select topics of interest to support IEP Team Leaders to strengthen collaborative and compliant practice. The event is designed to provide professional development and face-to-face opportunities for maintaining the state-wide professional community of Educational Team Leaders.

The cost for the day includes continental breakfast and lunch.

Participants in the CES Special Education Team Leader Communities of Practice (504, Secondary, and Elementary) who are registering for and attending the ETL Seminar will receive credits for their attendance as part of their overall PDPs awarded for the Community of Practice.
