Take-Out Menu

In light of financial limitations facing school districts at this time, SELPA has shifted the focus for out delivery of staff development opportunities. In addition to the traditional, in-town workshops, we are offering a group of short, teacher-friendly workshops which can be presented in your district at a time convenient to your staff. Take-Out Menu workshops can be presented at an after-school meeting or combined to form a longer presentation tailor-made for your needs.

Please call SELPA personnel to schedule your selections for presentation in your district.
