The 2025 TEA guidance isn't just a policy update: it's a shift in how your team must function. With the move toward a "preponderance of evidence" and stricter MDT requirements, the margin for error in SLD identification has never been thinner. Is your district's workflow ready for the scrutiny?
Why Attend?
Most webinars tell you what the rules are. We're going to show you how to execute them. Join Dr. Tammy Stephens as she demonstrates how to move from a fragmented evaluation process to a centralized, compliant operation.
The Agenda:
- The 6 Pillars of SLD Identification: A breakdown of TEA's updated requirements, from exclusionary factors to instructional verification.
- Ditching the "Single Measure" Trap: How to integrate STAAR, benchmarks, RTI, and observations into one cohesive visual narrative.
- Operationalizing the MDT: Strategies to centralize communication between parents, evaluators, and Gen-Ed teachers.
- Automated Compliance: How to manage high-stakes timelines (PWN, Consent, FIIE) without the manual guesswork.
