Each year, the TASH Conference brings together our constituents to share resources and success stories, learn about field-driven best practices, and network within a community engaged in shared values. The Conference is attended by passionate leaders, experts, and advocates from every corner of the disability community. Conference attendees are influential in their fields and communities, and play an important role in the provision of services and supports for the millions of individuals and organizations around the world; and include professors and researchers from leading institutions; those involved in local, state, and federal governments and public policy; special and general educators, and school administrators; self-advocates, adult service providers; students, family members, and many others. This year’s conference theme, Building Diverse and Inclusive Communities, reminds us that equity, opportunity, and inclusion relies on the input of broad perspectives and experiences.
Teacher candidates in an online graduate program can be effectively-prepared to educate students with severe disabilities in academic content. Teacher candidates are provided with preparation to include a diverse variety of students with severe disabilities in academic lessons in general education. These candidates master skills to plan, teach and assess students with disabilities in academic content through online learning strategies. This approach is successful to prepare students for successful edTPA results.
