The IDOE Office of Special Education is offering multiple support opportunities for Indiana special education directors and administrators throughout the 2025-2026 school year. Join the December sessions to learn more about Seclusion and Restraint, Good Cause Exemption, and the APH Annual Census with guest speaker Martha LaBounty from the Indiana Educational Resource Center.
- The Directors Symposium is held monthly to provide relevant policy and resource updates that support directors in strengthening compliance in their corporation’s reporting.
- Lead and Listen sessions enable the OSE director and specialists to address submitted follow-up questions regarding the Directors’ Symposium.
- New Director Community Chats are also held monthly for special education directors and administrators, new to their positions within the last three years, to ask questions and gain additional information following the Directors Symposium.
