2012 OSEP Leadership Conference –Washington, DC
In response to feedback from previous conference
attendees, and to ensure that breakout sessions at the 2012 OSEP
Leadership Conference (OLC—formerly known as the Mega Conference) address
the most relevant and interesting topics, OSEP has added a call for proposals
into its planning process.This year’s conference agenda will include both
invited and proposed/accepted presenters. Proposals are due no later than,
Breakout Sessions
Breakout sessions, (1 hour and 15 minutes), focused on
early childhood will be held on Tuesday, July 31, 2012.
Breakout sessions for Monday, July 30 and Wednesday, August 1 should be aimed at two or
more target audiences (i.e., PTIs, CPRCs, and PTACs; State Part B Directors of
Special Education and staff; State Part C and Section 619 Coordinators and
staff; State ICC Chairs; and Parts B and C IDEA Data Managers responsible for
submitting 618 Data). Proposals must
identify one person as the session organizer for the session for communication
with the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and the Technical
Assistance Coordination Center (TACC).
Workshop Ideas
The EIFA would
like to encourage our members and professional partners to propose workshops. Please note that presenters will still have
to cover registration, travel, hotel accommodations and meal costs. We have some ideas that we hope you might
consider for workshops:
- Involving Families as Stakeholders in the APR/SPP and Grant Application Process
- Tools (communication skills) ICC Parent Representatives Can Use in Helping Families and the ICC Collaborate
- Family Support and Family Outcomes
- How to Develop Team Building Skills
- How to be Involved in the Strategic Planning Process, Policy or Program Development
- ICC's: We 'Advise', but How Do We Pull Off 'Assist'?
- Helping Families to be Fully Informed About Their Procedural Safeguards, Particularly During Transition
- Involving Families in Family Assessments/Effective Use of Routine-Based Interviews
- Creating Effective Partnerships Between Home Visiting, Part C and 619 Programs
- Family Leadership
