<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">During the months of April and May, ODE will offer eight Post School Outcome workshops across Oregon. Whether you attended the first PSO training in 2016 or you are new to this
training, it will have something for you! This all-day workshop will review strategies for collecting, analyzing, and using your PSO data to make informed decisions about services and transition programs. This information can be used by districts to develop
SPR&I action plans. Participants will learn how to use community supports, experiences, evidence-based practices, and evidence-based predictors<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>as a framework for implementing in-school transition programs. These practices lead to positive post-school outcomes for students and graduation higher rates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">ODE will provide Districts grant awards to cover the costs for participants attending the trainings. Grant award amounts will cover mileage, lodging, per diem (meals) and a fixed stipend amount for those attending
on non-contracted days. Lodging and per diem allowance will be included in the award amount only if participants travel over 70 miles one-way to attend a training location. In addition, PDUs will be available for all participants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
