Thank you for taking time out of your busy May schedules to attend the 2 day AEPS training in D.M. Isn't Kristi a delight to listen to - she really "gets it"!
So for next steps:
1) The AEPS should be considered as another "tool" for you to use in making good decisions about where children are at, what they can do, and what they will do next. It will not be mandatory for you to use, but you are encouraged to "give it a try."
2) If you liked AEPS and want to "dig deeper", I'd suggest you try the 30 day free trial of the AEPSI online between now and September 1 and see what you think.
3) If there are some of you that would like to "pilot" the use of the AEPSI the cost is $20 per child. AFTER you have used it for the 30 day trial period, contact me and I will find a way to fund the cost!
4) Spend some time on the AEPS blog to learn more!
My next task:
1) Look for the AEPS CD rom with all of the FORMS and send them to each of you.
2) Discuss at the chairperson meeting the possibility of providing a 1 day overview training to (0-5)support staff in September, so that teams are aware of the tool and can "sharpen their skills" with EC assignments. We have some ARRA funds to bring in a facilitator - Melanie will be contacted to develop a plan.
3) All additional AEPS materials that are in your office can be shared with support staff.
