The thirteenth annual Statewide Evaluation
Conference for Special Education Evaluation Personnel
will be held February 11 through February 13, 2010 at the Westin Galleria Hotel in Houston,
TX.
SWEP is organized and hosted by the Statewide Leadership
for Evaluation which is a decentralized function of
TEA. ESC Region 12 is the lead for the Statewide Leadership
for Evaluation. This group is represented by an evaluation
specialist from each Education Service Center across
the state. The purpose of this conference is to bring
new information on evaluation to school personnel and
provide networking opportunities with people across
the state involved in the evaluation of children with
disabilities.
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Richard Woodcock who will present past, present and future issues on educational/cognitive assessment. The experts will present on hot topics such as RTI, SLD, ethics for LSSPs and SLPs, current research on bilingualism and much more. Dr. Gail Cheramie will close the session with her lecture on associating cognitive processes/narrow abilities with the LD academic areas.
CPE credits will be offered to participants and TSHA CE credits are pending.
Handouts will be available electronically in early January, and will also be made available on a CD at the conference. Printed notebooks containing the handouts may be purchased for an additional $30 fee.
