ASD PLC Training Guide!
The Division of Specialized Instruction and Student Support (DSISS) is partnering with RethinkEd to provide you with the opportunity to participate in an intensive training module that will support your instruction for supporting students classified with autism. You have been selected to participate because you support students with a classification of Autism Spectrum Disorders who could benefit from intensive behavior support. Throughout the year-long training series, you will be part of an educational community that will receive ongoing support from the RethinkEd team. You will have access to asynchronous Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and Proactive Behavior Support modules, participate in synchronous professional learning communities, and receive on-going coaching. You will also be able to obtain CTLE hours by participating in the program.
