Supervisors of IECSE Teachers Resources

 

The resources included in this site address intervention planning within a consultation model verses a one-to-one or ‘pull out’ model. As you are aware, the Ohio Department of Education, sponsor of Project DIRECT, has proposed that districts shift their emphasis to the consultation approach to itinerant early childhood special education service delivery in Ohio.
