Hi,

 

We have a limited number of scholarships for Montana public school educators to attend online PECS Level 1 Trainings. These trainings are offered in real time and are not recorded.  (A description of the PECS Level 1 training can be found here.)

 

These trainings will be available on the following dates, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

October 22-23

November 4-5

November 9-10

December 3-4

December 10-11

 

Things you must know before you request a scholarship:

 

This training is only available to those who have not taken a PECS Level 1 training before.

 

We will request confirmation from your building principal or special education director that you have been given two days of release time to attend the training. That confirmation is required before we send your registration to PECS.

 

You must complete both days of the training. OPI renewal units will be provided after verification from PECS that you have completed the training. PECS will inform you if ASHA CEUs are available.

 

A hardcopy PECS manual will be sent to you for the training. (Those attending on October 23/24 will be sent virtual materials, with a hardcopy manual to follow.)

 

We have established a separate registration process from PECS online process. If you register and pay PECS, we cannot reimburse you.

 

If you have any questions, please email Doug Doty at ddoty@mt.gov. Direct replies to this newsletter email address are not collected nor forwarded.

 

You can request a scholarship here. We will provide notice as soon as possible to those who have been accepted to attend a training.
