Implications for Agency Professional Development
 Deeper learning on formative assessment and how to utilize it to drive instruction. Align with core curriculum.
 Further transition training on particular areas of concern, based on compliance checks and staff need.
 Technology training, particularly with regard to student learning.
Implications for LEA Involvement



Need to align with general education core content to ensure students are receiving the same level of instruction in
offsite programs that they are receiving in public schools.
LEA staff will need to be involved with IEP development so they can ensure transition activities and supports are
feasible as students work back to resident districts.
Consideration of what LEA classrooms have for technology to determine what is appropriate and necessary for
students.
