Let's shine the spotlight on our amazing Support Service Teachers! Thanks to the exceptional training led by Jennifer Miller, Transition Consultant from Crowley's Ridge Education Service Cooperative, our dedicated Support Service Teachers are now even better equipped to guide students aged 15 and above through their educational journeys. Jennifer's expertise has empowered our teachers to seamlessly align with the secondary transition requirements outlined in each student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). But it doesn't stop there – she's also provided them with cutting-edge research and evidence-based practices to elevate our district's transition program. Hats off to our Support Service Teachers for their commitment to excellence, and a huge thank you to Jennifer for her unwavering dedication to empowering every student's journey to success! #brickbybrick
