Welcome back! This fall, we are returning to assessing all preschool children with IEPs with the DRDP (2015) Preschool Fundamental View and assessing infants and toddlers with IFSPs with the DRDP (2015) Infant/Toddler Comprehensive View.
What you need to know:
Inclusive opportunities for children with IEPs are expanding with Universal PreKindergarten!
Using effective, evidence-based practices in instruction greatly supports the successful inclusion of children with IEPs. Among these recommended practices is embedding instruction in the child’s daily activities and routines.
You can learn how to use an embedded instruction framework systematically, supported by a job-embedded program of professional development that includes practice-based coaching through participation in Embedded Instruction for Early Learning California (EIEL CA). This opportunity is open to general education and special education partners...
If you missed some of our Coffee Break or Learn It and Use It sessions, you can access the recordings at any time. Use them in professional development with individuals, at staff meetings, or in-service events.
The California Department of Education, Special Education Division requires training for all early childhood special educators who assess children with the DRDP. Please complete this year's course, "Benny Having a Snack," if you have not already done so.
