Professional Learning

WOCCSE is committed to providing Professional Learning (PL) opportunities that respond to the unique needs of each of our member districts. Our approach includes offering SELPA-wide professional learning sessions, as well as trainings tailored to the priorities, programs, and staffing structures of individual LEAs.

WOCCSE's Commitment to Professional Learning:

Provide a comprehensive professional learning plan for educators and families grounded in best practices in special education.
Develop and share an annual calendar of staff training opportunities with member LEAs.
Ensure effective and timely communication of training opportunities across the consortium.
Equip district representatives to return to their LEAs and expand learning through a train-the-trainer model.
Collaborate with partner agencies to support high-quality staff development across the county.
