Sibling
Group Holdings, an educational technology holding company, has announced that
its Special Education Courses will be offered on the Blended Schools Network
(“BSN”) division’s teacher professional development platform. Educators take
responsibility for the learning of their students, but resources and skills
needed to be effective with special education students remains in high demand.
According
to the National Education Association, the number of U.S. students enrolled in
special education programs has gone up thirty percent over the past decade.
Seventy five percent of students with disabilities spend an inordinate portion
of their school day in general education classrooms. Conversely, nearly all
general education classrooms in the US contain students with disabilities.
BSN
is offering new courses for any K12 educator working in the inclusive
classroom. Lessons build skills by providing resources educators can integrate
in their classrooms the following day. In the courses, teachers learn about
Individualized Education Plans, paraprofessional potential, differentiation,
instructional strategies and data collection.
This
is BSN’s first professional development offering that is not focused on blended
and online learning. The course concepts were established by Dr. Pam Danklefsen
who possesses extensive experience working with special needs students, as well
as creating professional development to help teachers succeed. Dr. Danklefsen’s
first-hand knowledge of classroom success models and extensive experience with
developing programming for children with disabilities has created effective,
engaging content to help teachers drive successful inclusion classroom
experiences.
Ms.
Maurine Findley, CEO of Sibling Group Holdings, added, “We’re very pleased to
offer educators this tremendous platform via Blended Schools Network, which
currently has over 5,000 teachers visiting the site each day. Bringing our PLC
products to this vibrant teaching community allows us to reach so many more
teachers.”
The
courses are designed for all educators with the first courses starting Monday,
October 6, 2014. Educators can enroll through the Blended Schools website at
http://blendedschools.net/professional-development/special-education-for-all-educators/.
Through
its wholly owned subsidiary Blended Schools Network (BSN), Sibling Group
Holdings provides quality online curriculum for the K-12 marketplace, complete
hosted course authoring tools, professional development for teachers and a
learning management system (LMS) environment. The company concentrates on
pursuing market expansion and new product development to meet the global trend
towards the use of educational technology to improve student development and
performance.
