🏀 March Madness, but make it educational! 🍪 This Friday, Parallel and our PA Districts Partnerships Director, Demetra Pappas are teaming up with Lincoln IU 12 for a March Madness-themed SEAC meeting, diving into one of the most important topics in special education today: When (and When Not) to Lean on Tele-Assessments and Tele-Services for School Planning There’s clear, research-backed evidence that certain tele-testing methods are just as effective as in-person assessments But knowing when and how to implement tele-solutions is key And because no great meeting is complete without a little fun…. we’re bringing the game-day energy with custom March Madness cookies 🏀🍪 (yes, we take our themes very seriously). Stay tuned for updates from the event, and if you’re looking to build a smarter, more strategic approach to your districts special education based services, let’s chat! Which cookie are you grabbing first—the basketball hoop or your district’s jersey? Let us know in the comments!
