The Pepper Special Education modules are developed by OSDE educational professionals with extensive experience in teaching and learning, instructional leadership, curriculum design, professional development, and the implementation of College and Career Ready Standards. Our subject matter experts hold advanced degrees and have years of classroom experience and many have held leadership roles at various LEAs.

 

OSDE Education team members have deep content knowledge in: 1) standards-aligned curriculum, instruction, and assessment; 2) data use to inform teaching and learning; 3) targeted instructional strategies to support struggling learners, students with disabilities, and English Language Learners; 4) leadership capacity in low performing schools; 5) multi-tiered systems of support (RtI) for core and intervention instruction to support diverse learners; and 6) program reviews, strategic planning, and program evaluation.

Each course module includes several sessions. Each session will provide the learner to engage in the subject area content through a variety of presentation formats including text, graphs, charts, and interactive assessments where points could be earned. All activities in a course count towards a final grade and a completion certificate.
