Join us live on April 8th for these 2 great webinars! 

Graduation A Team Effort (GATE) Equity Webinars help growth minded educators and education advocates to learn from Washington districts who are closing opportunity gaps. Using OSPI data and experience from the field, GATE Equity webinars reveal the systems that drive success, an equity focus, and the key strategies that are getting students to graduation. 

We offer two distinct experiences that both feature Washington schools doing amazing work! GATE Equity Webinar 101 sessions, in the morning, are based on foundational best practices. GATE 201 Webinar sessions, in the afternoon, focus on a specific strategy from our monthly theme that you can apply to your context.

High School & Beyond Plans 101: Increasing Engagement with High School & Beyond Planning

Who am I? What can I become? How do I become that? These are the essential questions behind the High School & Beyond Plan that guide students through their high school years and into adulthood. In Washington this graduation requirement helps students get the most out of high school by thinking about their future. We'll be exploring strategies for student engagement and looking at local examples of how to personalize the experience for a variety of student needs with an alternative learning program perspective from Green River College.  

High School & Beyond Plans 201: Aligning High School & Beyond Plans & IEP Transition Plans 

You asked and we listened! Check out some ideas for how to follow the state’s new mandate to align High School & Beyond Plans and IEP Transition Plans. We're joined by OSPI’s Special Education staff and leaders from Puget Sound Educational Service District (PSESD) and Seattle University’s Center for Change in Transition Studies. They've developed some amazing resources they want to share with you that can be used to implement a collaborative team approach to aligning HSBP’s and IEP Transition Plans.
