SPED Talk Tuesday
What's the Deal?
Every Tuesday at 3:00 pm Central Time, Region 13’s Instructional Support team will conduct SPED Talk Tuesdays - free webinars that cover a variety of topics around instructional supports for students with learning needs.
Each SPED Talk Tuesday will include a brief presentation on a timely topic followed by a chat session for participants to ask questions about the presentation or something else related to special education services.
If you miss any talks or want resources mentioned in a talk, check out our public Canvas course. Scroll down this page to the SPED Talks Archive section for more information.
