FCS Hosted the North Community of Practice for Special Education

On Wednesday, November 15th FCS hosted the North Community of Practice for Special Education presented by ESU #3.  The COP included special education teachers and directors from the Arlington, Blair, DC West, and Fort Calhoun school districts. The purpose of the COP was to build the skills and practices of special education staff through networking, collaboration, and exploration of evidence-based practices. This event was a great opportunity for our staff to increase their knowledge of a variety of topics related to special education while building connections with other special education staff in the area. Miranda Adams and Ashley Dougherty were able to showcase the PBIS Program in grades Preschool-6th grade, including our digital program Live School, and the School Store which is run and managed by the Young Adult Program.
