Developing a Districtwide Autism Program: A Training Model for Serving Students With ASD
Presenter: Kara Magee-Arick, STAR Director of Professional Development
During this focus group we discussed several state and districtwide models of professional development. We discussed the infrastructure necessary to ensure fidelity of implementation of evidence-based strategies. Participants learned about the different types of training and coaching that have been found to be effective in achieving fidelity of implementation and building districtwide capacity. Specific examples of districts and states that developed internal capacity to support all of their staff was provided. Thanks for joining us in exploring which of these models can be most sustainable for urban school districts!
