Purpose
To support local education agencies (LEAs) and the state board operated programs (SBOPs) through training, coaching and technical assistance, in developing staff capacity in effective classroom, academic, and behavior management strategies and interventions for students with extensive support needs (ESN). Additionally, this position will support and train LEAs regarding low-incidence criteria, information, and documentation needed when applying for acceptance to state schools.
