This six (6) session professional development series is provided for special education teachers, therapists, and educational leaders to learn about the RI-IECSE service-delivery model.  The professional development focuses on the changing role of the early childhood special education teacher and therapist, from one that is based primarily on direct instruction to one that includes ongoing and robust collaboration with the general early childhood teacher.  Topics will include how best to use the time dedicated to direct instruction, how to hold productive collaborative meetings, and how to partner with the early childhood teacher to embed instruction into the daily classroom activities.
