During the first week of March, 2024, our Director of Special Education-Early Intervention Programs, Colleen Penzone and Training and Consultation Staff, Christopher Olson, had the unique opportunity to attend the International APBS conference in Chicago, IL. Presentations included our friends at PaTTAN East, Tina Lawson and Melissa Klug who presented in front of a packed room on the topic of, “Large-scale Tier 2 Systems and Intervention Implementation”. Colleen and Chris also attended sessions pertaining to Program-Wide and School-Wide PBIS on various topics as well as networked with individuals from around the globe during poster session presentations. The ideas and networking they brought back will drive much of the conversations around Early Intervention and our district initiatives around behavior, social emotional learning, mental health and trauma informed practices in the future. Congrats to our PaTTAN friends on this huge honor of presenting at such a prestigious conference!

IU19 had an amazing time at PETE&C this past week! Between judging the PA Invention Convention, experiencing the AI Summit, helping with the Esports Experience and contributing to the CS/CT playground, we brought back so many ideas! #PETEandC #EdTech #Learning
