Tuesday Presentation:
Hot Topics in Special Education Law
Description: This PL provides an essential overview of key federal and state laws governing special education, IDEA, Section 504, and MARSE. Participants will explore legal responsibilities related to IEP development, FAPE, LRE, discipline, and procedural safeguards. Designed for new and emerging leaders, this session connects legal requirements to daily practice and decision-making. Real-world scenarios and recent case examples will be used to strengthen understanding and support legal confidence.
Wednesday Presentations:
Developing Leaders is THE place to solve current problems of practice with other MAASE members. Topics for this informal "Ed Camp" opportunity are brainstormed the day prior. Notes are taken to capture the information and resources shared by fellow MAASE members on the hot topic of the day. Participants will have the opportunity to select two topics that are the most relevant to their current work, one from 8:30-9:15 am and one from 9:30-10:15 am.
Immediately following the Developing Leaders session is the General Membership Meeting where you will hear state level updates from the Michigan Department of Education Office of Special Education and our lobbyist. You will also hear updates from the MAASE President, Kirsten Myers on the Board meetings and current MAASE work.
