Discipline procedures for students with disabilities are convoluted and densely written, making it difficult to know the right way to implement them in day-to-day practice. Join attorney Dave Garner for this 90-minute webinar where he will translate the technical and legislative jargon into guidance that is easy to remember and follow, while alerting you to pitfalls that trip up even the most experienced administrators and educators.

You'll not only get a straightforward review of the legal requirements your district must follow; you will also learn best practices school staff can implement to ensure compliance with the IDEA and Section 504. Gain a practical road map for proper procedures and navigating around traps for the unwary as you:

  • Learn the two must-know fundamentals of addressing misconduct by students with disabilities
  • Understand of the "3 Special Rules" that apply when discipline results in a change of placement
  • Discover types of discipline that fall outside the FAPE-Free Zone
  • Find out rules for removing a student to an interim alternative educational setting and conducting MDRs
  • Know your options and obligations when misconduct involves "special circumstances" or the threat of injury
  • And more!

As a result of the ongoing pandemic and the current education environment, students who have experienced trauma — but also those who have not — may exhibit anxiety, grief, hopelessness and depression. It's more important than ever that educators know how to recognize and respond appropriately to all students' needs.

Join this timely webinar for an in-depth exploration of using a trauma-informed approach to meet the social, emotional and mental health needs of students with disabilities and create a trauma-informed school environment. You'll learn how to place strategic focus on measuring and improving students' social emotional learning — the skills, behaviors and mindsets that are critical to student success in both school and life.

Plus, you'll discover the strategies, supports and tools that work best to support the needs of students affected by trauma and the COVID-19 pandemic, so school and district staff are equipped to:

  • Adopt a trauma lens to understand and respond to student behaviors
  • Guide students in building social-emotional skills to navigate stressors, anxieties and challenges
  • Implement the 5 components essential to providing a safe emotional space for students
  • Create healthy relationships with students and promote wellness through trauma-informed care
  • And more!
