Participants will explore application programs with specially designed activities, teacher tools for creating customized learning activities, and resources for free or low cost teacher-created materials appropriate for their students and content being addressed. Specific attention will also be given to creating assessment activities that will be appropriate for inclusion in alternate assessment portfolios.

Moving on Up! Three Rivers Regional Transition Council
Date: December 11, 2009 Time: 10:00am to 12:00pm Location: Tattnall County Board of Education
A regional transition council is a group of individuals from a multi-county region who meet to address the transition of individuals with disabilities from high school to employment, post secondary education, and or independent living. The council is comprised of a cross-section of the community, including individuals with disabilities, their families, employers, educators and agency representatives. All council members have an equal voice and a proportionate responsibility for the work of the council. Councils take on projects to facilitate the transition of individuals with disabilities in their area. Regional projects are found to be more successful and to benefit a larger number of individuals with disabilities than would local projects. Both the composition of the council and the projects the council undertakes are unique to the area in which the council is located. The work of a regional transition council benefits not only individuals with disabilities and their families, but employers through providing a diverse work force, and the community through the addition of productive citizens to the tax rolls.
