 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT in DISABILITY & INCLUSIVITY

Professional Learning Opportunities

GETAC provides professional learning opportunities to schools, 
community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations and 
is COMMITTED to supporting the professional development of educators.

Tiered Workshop Structure provides specialized and on-going professional learning experiences

Tier I

Tier I workshops emphasize the understanding of autism spectrum disorders and their impact on the school community and family system. Districts are strongly urged to begin all autism education training with Tier I workshops.

Tier II

Tier II workshops anticipate a greater level of understanding of autism spectrum disorders.  Workshops emphasize the practical integration of Tier I information in the educational setting through the use of case-studies and related application-driven exercises. Tier II workshops allow participants to discuss and stretch their pedagogy regarding students with ASD, strategies for mainstream settings, and best practices for creating a challenging and positive learning environment.

Tier III


Tier III workshops are designed for districts that are ready to align their curricula and instructional practices to better support students with autism spectrum disorders in the regular education classroom.  Emphasis is placed on the synthesis of Tiers I and II to build teacher self-efficacy and increase student outcomes.
