Unraveling PA 146 - Special Education Implications

Tuesday Presentation:
Unraveling PA 146 - Special Education Implications

Description: Michigan’s PA 146 literacy and dyslexia legislation is creating significant changes for schools across the state, with important implications for special education systems, instructional practices, and student supports. This session will provide special education leaders with a comprehensive overview of the legislation, including key requirements, implementation timelines, and expectations outlined by the Michigan Department of Education. Participants will explore how the law intersects with IDEA, MTSS, literacy intervention systems, evaluation practices, and supports for students with disabilities as districts prepare for statewide implementation.                    

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 8:30-9:00 am and one from 9:15-9:45 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, Tina Lawson on the Board meetings and current MAASE work.
