This January and February, members of the SPEDucator Project had the amazing opportunity to attend the hybrid Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) conference, either in Orlando, Florida or online. They were able to connect with special education teachers and researchers from around the nation to learn on broad and diverse topics across the field of special education.

For this event, each SPEDucator picked their favorite session from the conference to summarize and share. Come learn practical tips and the most up-to-date practices and knowledge from the field!

These peer-to-peer sessions provide information and tips from the viewpoint and experiences of current special education teachers.

Disclaimer: These sessions are provided to support students, educators, and/or families. Materials have not been vetted through a formal state-level curriculum review committee process. Please use information and resources at your own discretion; skip any choices that will not work for your needs.

Learn about the different passion projects being implemented in various schools and classrooms around the state. Passion projects are opportunities for teachers to combine their own passions and desire to make meaningful change, by designing or advocating for unique opportunities to address an issue or need within our education system. 

Learn more about each project and receive tips & words of advice for starting a passion project of your own!
