SPECIAL EDUCATOR TECHNOLOGY-BASED TRAINING OF TRAINERS
Special Educator Technology-Based Training of Trainers (SETTT) for Success leverages Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and evidence-based technology and professional development practices to implement effective online professional learning for trainers as they design and deliver professional development for teachers. The SETTT for Success project includes resources, a trainer professional development cycle, and technology to support trainers’ design of effective professional development. SETTT for Success maintains a specific focus on improving professional development for teachers who provide academic instruction for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities.
