Professional Learning Requests

If your building or district has a specific professional learning need that cannot be met by the current Special Education Professional Learning offerings, reach out to your Regional Supervisor of Special Education about possibly submitting a System-Level Request for Observation and Consultation Services (ROCS). The BRIDGE Consultant Team is able to provide training in the areas of:

  • Assistive Technology

  • Autism Spectrum Disorders

  • Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI)

  • Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)

  • Data Collection & Analysis

  • De-escalation Strategies

  • Effective Teaming & Meeting Mechanics

  • Mental Health Friendly Classrooms

  • Paraprofessional Role Development

  • Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports

  • Unique Learning Systems & Instructional Strategies

The BRIDGE Consultant Team asks that training requests be submitted a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the targeted training date. This provides trainers the time needed to coordinate and prepare materials to ensure a quality learning experience. Once a ROCS for professional learning has been received, the assigned team member will communicate with the individual listed as the contact person on the ROCS in order to make event arrangements.
