Did you know VBISD’s Special Education Department is deeply connected to statewide initiatives that support student success?
All of our special education administrators are active members of the MAASE, regularly attending professional development to sharpen their skills and drive positive outcomes for students.
In the 2024-25 school year, VBISD hosted the Train-the-Trainer series for MAASE’s Paraeducator Training, with Jen Korinek serving as a content developer. Additionally, Laura Thornburg and Jen Korinek have presented twice at MAASE’s Technical Assistance Conference, sharing expertise and strategies with administrators across Michigan!
Through partnerships like these, VBISD Special Education continues to lead, innovate, and elevate the impact of educators statewide.
