Attracting the educators of tomorrow to the field of special education through authentic experiential learning opportunities is the purpose of the Developing Future Special Educators Grant. Join this panel of grantees (local education agencies, institutes of higher education, and students) from across Pennsylvania, as they unpack their unique implementation journeys and share their stories of advancing future special education personnel by increasing the interest and knowledge of secondary and post-secondary students in this diverse and rewarding career pathway towards effecting positive outcomes for students with disabilities. This session will culminate with details and information on how your school entity can forge its own path in creating the special educators of tomorrow through your work today.
