Tuesday Presentation:
Instructional Leadership for Inclusive Excellence: Strengthening Systems for All Learners
Presenters: John O'Connor
Description: John O’Connor is a nationally recognized special education leader with over 30 years of experience improving instructional systems at the school, district, and state levels. As the author of Great Instruction, Great Achievement for Students with Disabilities, he offers practical, research-based strategies to strengthen outcomes for all learners. This session will include topics such as instructional improvement, effective co-teaching, developing master schedules that support inclusive practices, and improving instruction in the least restrictive environment. Participants will also explore how to build an instructionally focused special education department and implement Michigan’s new dyslexia laws to ensure access and success for all learners. Enhance your ability to lead, collaborate, and drive meaningful outcomes in your district.
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.
