Please join us for our Community of Practice for special educators working primarily with students who have significant intellectual disabilities in various settings.

Join us in person at the Sherlock Center for a hands-on Math Manipulative Make-and-Take! Participants will have access to tactile supplies to create adapted counting, graphing, fraction and geometry materials aligned with the Essential Elements. These manipulatives are designed to support meaningful access to the general education math curriculum for students with significant intellectual disabilities.

Please register by Feb. 17. Space is limited to the first 30 registrants.
