Course Design

LED BY A CHAMPION TEAM

Our program is a unique blend of asynchronous learning as well as live classes with a team of instructors

Students engage in live lessons through

  • whole group discussion
  • small group breakout discussions
  • various technologies which allow participants to have their thoughts and ideas heard

Instructors are available for office hours to provide individual support

All of our activities are practical, real-world applications for special education teachers. SPED Pro participants are supported with individualized support until their work product is exemplar and can serve as a resource for the teacher in their classroom.
