Description: This training is designed for teams of 3-8 members working with students with higher support needs such as autism. In this training, the Classroom Environment and Teaching Assessment (CETA) will be presented as a process tool for teams to assess strengths and areas for development related to current implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) at the classroom level. Specific EBPs that support the CETA indicators will be shared to assist teams in their development of action steps to strengthen implementation of practices for improved outcomes for students. Several START staff members and trainers will be involved in sharing training materials and discussing the CETA and EBPs with the teams.
Participants: Teams of 3-8 focused at a classroom-level (e.g., special education administrator, building administrator, special education teacher, general education teacher, ancillary staff, paraeducators).
Goals of the Series:
- School teams learn about specific evidence-based practices designed to support students with autism and students with higher support needs.
- School teams will use the Classroom Environmental & Teaching Assessment (CETA) to gain insight into their use of evidence-based practices and develop a plan to strengthen classroom practices to improve outcomes for students.
