A week of learning and collaboration in the PSJA ISD Special Education Department! 💙📚

Our ECSE teachers and staff engaged in impactful professional learning focused on classroom strategies, including structure, routines, behavior supports, communication, accommodations, and strong teacher–paraprofessional collaboration.

Our Assessment Team strengthened their skills in Woodcock-Johnson V administration, interpretation, and test selection to support TEA-aligned evaluations.

Our Speech Team also participated in professional learning focused on speech and language supports and AAC implementation—from core language and communication partner strategies to hands-on tools for supporting students who use AAC.

Special thanks to our presenters for sharing their knowledge and expertise with our staff: Dr. Ruth De Leon, Special Education Reading Content Specialist, and Ruby Whittinghill, both from Region One ESC; Dr. Schultz; Gaby Hernandez, M.S., CCC-SLP, Bilingual AAC Consultant; and Anyssa De Leon, M.S., CCC-SLP with Tobii Dynavox. ✨

And we’re not done yet! We have many more professional learning opportunities happening throughout the rest of the week as our teams continue preparing to welcome students back into our classrooms on Monday! 📚✨

The PSJA ISD Special Education Department was proud to support our district’s Annual Best Practices Conferences, at each instructional level—Elementary, Middle School, and High School! 📚✨

Throughout the conferences, our Director, Coordinators, Learning Support Coaches, Learning Support Strategists, School Psychologists, and Diagnosticians shared their knowledge and expertise by providing meaningful training and resources to staff across the district.

These annual conferences are a great opportunity to strengthen practices, build collaboration, and ensure our staff are equipped with the tools and strategies needed to support student success at every level. 💙

We are proud to be part of a team that continues to learn, grow, and work together in support of every student, every day!
