Join in the discussion with your DEC EI CoP colleagues:
Professional Identity and EI Special Instructors: Who Are We?
Thursday, March 27th, 2025, 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time - Register here.
Dana Childress and Teran Frick will use recent research and the revised DEC position statement on special instruction to guide us through an exploration of the development of shared professional identity. Through lively discussions and reflection on how special instruction is provided and respected in the field, we will consider who we are and what we need to improve the identity of the special instructor/early intervention educator as important service providers. Participants are encouraged to review the position statement before we meet.
