We're back for season 2 with 17 more court cases to explore! No need to have completed Season 1 in order to take this course, jump in wherever and whenever you are ready! 

Join North Central ESD’s instructional technology and special education team for a flexible, podcast-based professional learning experience. Each session of the SpEd Splaining Podcast Study Series invites educators to: 

Listen – Stream or download the featured episode of SpEd Splaining on any major podcast platform (Apple, Spotify, Google, etc.). You can also listen directly in Canvas, but what's the fun in that!? 

Reflect & Discuss – Log into the accompanying Canvas course (self-paced within the event window) to engage with guiding questions, curated resources, and a facilitated discussion board. 

Apply – Capture key takeaways and next steps in a brief reflection activity designed to translate insights into classroom, building, or district practice. 

Whether you’re a seasoned special educator or a general-education teacher seeking to strengthen inclusive practices, this asynchronous format lets you learn when it fits your schedule while still connecting with a regional community of practitioners. Expect thoughtful conversation around real-world SpEd scenarios, legal considerations, and practical strategies for supporting diverse learners."
