A Great Day of Learning for CT Aspiring Leaders in Special Education!

Today, participants in the Connecticut Aspiring Leaders in Special Education Academy came together at the UConn UCEDD for a full day of learning and leadership development.

The day focused on IDEA—what special education leaders need to know, including IDEA Part C, Part B, and Section 619, followed by hands-on work connecting the information to leadership competencies.

Thank you to David Bateman, PhD, Mary Beth Bruder, PhD, and Donna Gittleman for sharing their expertise and supporting Connecticut’s next generation of special education leaders! 🌟
