Yes We Can! An Unprecedented Opportunity to Improve Special Education Outcomes 2026
The "Yes We Can! An Unprecedented Opportunity to Improve Special Education Outcomes" two‑day PD event (March 4‑5, 2026, Hilton Pasadena, CA) equips general and special educators with PLC‑based strategies to close achievement gaps for multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and those facing poverty or trauma. Attendees explore collaborative structures, guaranteed and viable curriculum design, balanced assessment systems, and data‑driven instruction. Sessions link RTI, PLCs, and special education into a service continuum, guide the creation of standards‑aligned IEP goals, and teach formative progress‑monitoring tools. Key topics include school‑wide culture of high expectations, scaffolding instruction, and designing coherent units. The agenda features presentations, networking, and hands‑on workshops led by experts such as Heather Friziellie. Participants receive certificates, optional handouts, and a notebook, and can earn CEUs where applicable. The event emphasizes practical, research‑backed tools to accelerate learning and ensure all students succeed.
