The purpose of this four-part virtual article study is to provide educators with additional information, professional discussion, and resources to implement evidence-based practices in their learning environments. The article study will be conducted monthly from November to February and will feature breakout rooms for article discussion, resources, and didactic information about task analyses, token systems, direct instruction, and video modeling. Upon registration, participants will receive a brief article from a professional journal, which is required reading before each virtual session. The webinar series is open to general and special education teachers, paraeducators, and building or district-level administrators. Participants must register for each of sessions they would like to attend. Certificates for one professional development hour will be provided within five business days after each session.
