To promote educational excellence, the Alabama Education Association serves as an advocate for its members and leads the advancement of equitable and quality public education in Alabama.
Special Education Cohort
The Education Policy & Professional Practice (EPPP) Department has created a Special Education Cohort to help special educators best serve students during in-person, virtual, and/or hybrid learning. Because of the multiple perspectives offered by educators, this cohort will provide a richness to the learning process, as well as provide materials and resources for working with students with a variety of exceptionalities. Participants will earn continuing education unit (CEU) credit as they work alongside fellow educators exploring best practices for providing special education services to students.
A confirmation email containing instructions for joining the session will be received after registration.
Registration is required before 9:00 a.m. on the day of the session.
COST:
AEA Members: FREE
AEA Non-Members: $50 per CEU session
