Informational Webinar: Post High School Outcomes Survey (Indicator 14)

Annually, the Oklahoma State Department of Education Special Education Services surveys students a year after they exit high school. Students’ responses help us understand the post-secondary education and employment experiences of youth with disabilities.

Please join us for a webinar to learn more about a new opportunity to improve the data collection: we are looking for districts interested in partnering with us to collect information from their own former students. There are many benefits to conducting your own surveys, and for most districts, the time commitment is minimal. For more information about this project, we are hosting a zoom meeting on May 20. Registration is not required.

Topic: Indicator 14 Post School Outcomes Survey

Time: May 20, 2020 10:00 AM Central Time

How to Get Involved in Your IEP

This one-hour webinar is designed for secondary-age students to explain the “what, why, and how” of being involved in the IEP process. We use student-friendly language and resources to explain what being involved in the IEP means, why they should be involved in their IEP, and how to get involved in their IEP meetings. We will also show a couple of resources to help students be involved in their transition planning process.

Topic: How to Get Involved in Your IEP (for students)

Time: May 29, 2020 01:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
