AEDY Referrals for Sending LEAs* 🔴

A full review of the AEDY Referrals system in Leader Services/IMS from the lens of the Sending LEA!

This training will use fictitious student referrals to walk through every step of the process when referred to AEDY, including creating the referral, placement in the program, the transition back to LEA, and special cases. We will also discuss common questions like "What do I do if the student never actually attended?" and "The student moved to another district, what do I need to do in Leader?"

This is a *live* and *open* virtual session that will not be recorded, so be sure to share with all new and returning staff who have access to the referrals system!

AEDY Goals Training: Goal Writing Essentials (Part 1)* 🔴🔷

Come with your goal writing team and continue developing your skills for writing student goals! This training will walk your team through guiding questions, tips, and considerations for writing behavioral goals for students seated in AEDY. A portion of this training will provide your team a chance to practice goal writing by writing goals for fictitious students.

AEDY Goals Training: Progress Monitoring (Part 2)* 🔷🟪

Behavior goals are only as effective as the data used to measure them. This session will provide practical strategies for selecting the right progress monitoring methods, matching them to behavior goals, and using data to tell the story of a student's growth. Participants will learn how to document progress in the Formal Periodic Review, communicate meaningful outcomes to families and Sending LEAs, and use progress monitoring data to make informed decisions about student transition back to the general education setting. Whether you collect, review, or report behavior data, this training will help you make it more useful, accurate, and actionable.

AEDY Goals Training: Aligning Goals to Interventions and Supports (Part 3)* 🔷🟪

Effective AEDY programs do more than respond to challenging behavior - they intentionally teach the skills students need to succeed. In this session, participants will learn how to select interventions that directly support behavior goals, embed skill instruction into everyday routines, and ensure goals focus on student growth rather than staff actions. Through real-world examples and interactive activities, attendees will explore how to build flexible intervention systems, strengthen staff capacity, and effectively document interventions in the Formal Periodic Review to support both student progress and successful transitions back to the Sending LEA.

This is a *live* and *open* virtual session that will not be recorded, so be sure to include your full team! A copy of the slide deck will be provided to all attendees.

AEDY Community of Practice 🔷🟪

A community of practice (CoP) is a discussion group based around a common topic. In these groups, participants talk about new learnings and ideas and share them with one another. This year, our AEDY Communities of Practice will focus on scenarios and challenges faced by AEDY Programs and Sending LEAs around interventions. Highlights and notes from each room will be shared at the end of each meeting.

Formal Periodic Reviews: From Initial to Exit* 🔴🔷🟪

A full review of the Formal Periodic Review process, from the time a student is seated in AEDY to when they return to the LEA.

This training will cover each lens of the FPR, including an overview of requirements for documentation, goal writing, progress monitoring, and exit/transition planning. We will discuss common questions like “What data should we include in the document?” and “What do we do if the parent is not available to meet?”
