This is the third and final session of Implementation Workshops for ONC BOCES Esports Initiative.

The goal of this three-part workshop is to help build Esports programs in regional schools. This includes supporting and championing the organic growth of Esports by providing guidance, resources and connections. The workshop is not prescriptive; rather it looks to help mold to district needs, wants, culture and community.

This roundtable will allow special class teachers (12:1:1, 15:1, etc.) to come together to discuss and collaborate with one another. We will take a deep dive into the DLM Essential Elements for students who are alternately assessed (NYSAA) and how to utilize them for instructional purposes as well as for IEP Development.

Facilitated work time for staff members who provide class wide, small group, or individual interventions via RtI or AIS roundtable to collaborate and learn together while using benchmarking/progress monitoring data to identify appropriate skill-based interventions to meet the needs of all students.

Participants will identify:
- The components and research that support self-determination instruction and the student-directed approach.
- Materials and resources to aid in the promotion of self-determination & how to reflect these skills in the IEP.
- Self-determination assessments to assist in obtaining the individualized information to build student skills.
- Considerations for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students and families.
- That each individual's journey to self-determination begins at birth and continues throughout their lifespan.
- Considerations for use of assistive technology and other logistics that will impact the celebration on Meeting 4.
- Participants will receive/provide peer support and resources to aid in the delivery of self-determination instruction.
- Participants will receive/provide peer support and resources to assist in the implementation of the student-directed approach.
- Identify various pieces of documentation to be completed and submitted to measure the impact of their work
