Learning Loss vs. Disability: Navigating Special Education Identification in the Post-Pandemic Classroom (WEBINAR)

Presented by Dr. Jacqueline Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer, National Center for Learning Disabilities; Bonnie Contreras, Senior Director Clinical Solution Engineering, Presence; and Robin Lake, Director, Center on Reinventing Public Education
Moderated by Kara Arundel, Senior Reporter, K-12 Dive

Among the many responsibilities of educators is to identify and recommend students for special education evaluations. But in the wake of the pandemic, more students are showing signs they need specialized support, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between temporary academic setbacks and deeper learning needs. How can we ensure all students receive the targeted resources they need, regardless of the underlying cause?

Join us for an expert-led edLeader Panel on navigating special education identification in the post-pandemic era. Attendees will:

• Understand the current landscape of special education assessment and evaluation
• Learn strategies to help schools differentiate pandemic-related struggles from long-term learning needs and effectively distribute resources
• Discover innovative, scalable approaches to conducting comprehensive evaluations drawing from real-world district examples
• Understand family perspectives throughout the assessment process
  Leave equipped with actionable strategies to lead your school or district in meeting diverse student needs effectively and equitably

This edLeader Panel will be of interest to PreK-12 school leaders, district leaders, directors of special education, special education administrators, and student services officers. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
