<div>RE:<i> </i>2010-11 NASDSE Professional Development Series</div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div>The 2010-2011 NASDSE Professional Development Series schedule is now available. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This year, the NASDSE (National Association of State Directors of Special Education) Professional Development Series has been improved to add versatility to the way staff access and utilize these conferences to meet professional development needs. The
series will feature a new, fully accessible, state-of-the-art web delivery system that includes a searchable<i> </i>knowledge base of information, conference chapters for easy navigation, and accurate transcription of all conference content. Due to changes
in this available technology, we have discontinued the satellite downlink portion of the series.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Because the conference is a subscription service, the access information is <b>no longer</b> available directly on the ODE website. This information must remain within the state and should not be posted on public websites. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We will continue to disseminate the login code via this listserv to special education directors. This login will provide access to the online conference viewing page where all related PowerPoint presentations and resources will be available for download
by individual viewers. We will release that information to you via this listserv as soon as it is available, usually 3-4 days prior to the broadcast.</div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div>The Department will continue to provide DVD copies of the broadcasts for rebroadcast and/or dissemination by <i>ESDs </i>and schools. Should you require further assistance or information, please contact Stella Brown at 503.947.5643, or by email at <a href="mailto:stella.brown@state.or.us"><font color="#0000FF"><u>stella.brown@state.or.us</u></font></a>.</div>
