PROFESSIONAL/STAFF DEVELOPMENT

The AALRC will:

1. Provide training in the use of screening tools for students with special learning needs, instructional strategies, accommodations, referrals, and resources for administrators, instructors, tutors, and staff who work with students who have special learning needs and/or learning disabilities.
2. Provide consultation by request for:
   1. appropriate interpretation/application of screening tools;
   2. appropriate accommodations, resources, and referrals.
3. Provide consultation in resource and referral development as new or updated information is available. All AALRC consultation will be considered as part of the follow-up/sustaining procedures for professional/staff development.
4. Conduct all workshops in facilities that meet ADA/Sect. 504 requirements.
5. Provide formal training in the use of screening tools for paid adult education and literacy staff only, due to liability issues and length of training.
6. Provide one-on-one, on-site follow-up training for participants in the learning disabilities-related workshops when the participant requests assistance in implementation of training or when the program director requests assistance based on an observation of no training implementation.

Local programs will:

1. Report all implementation of disabilities workshops to the AALRC on the Annual Report (see next page).
2. Share screening expertise and resources with other regional LEAs.

Tracking Participants will:

1. Attend all training sessions and demonstrate required competencies. In case of an emergency conflict, the participant is required to make up the missed session.
