IDOE’s Office of Special Education is offering multiple support opportunities for Indiana special education directors and administrators in 2026. Join the May sessions to learn more about exiting and graduation from Brandon Myers, Assistant Director of Program Performance and Reporting, as well as Indiana’s new school accountability model from Vanessa Deveau Bachle, Director of Innovation. • 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 IDOE 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. Specific information, including dates, times, and registration information, can be found here. Please direct any questions about director outreach opportunities to spedassistance@doe.in.gov.
