The PROGRESS Project is a statewide network for teacher leaders and ESAs dedicated to strengthening the professional growth of special education teachers. Its purpose is to build leadership learning communities where educators share ideas, apply effective practices, and support one another in the ongoing work of improving outcomes for students.
The PROGRESS Project is hosting the third annual PROGRESS Conference, a statewide professional development program based on curriculum that is designed to build content and experiential expertise among teacher and ESA leaders.
This year’s PROGRESS Conference will focus on instruction for multilingual learners, math instruction or reading intervention – key areas of knowledge needed to implement Response to Intervention in schools.
