Wednesday Presentation: (Included with All Access Tickets)
Take your professional learning experience to the next level with the All Access ticket. When you purchase the All Access ticket you gain access to Developing Leaders sessions and the General Membership Meeting.

Developing Leaders is THE place to solve current problems of practice with other MAASE members. Topics for this informal "Ed Camp" opportunity are brainstormed the day prior. Notes are taken to capture the information and resources shared by fellow MAASE members on the hot topic of the day.  Participants will have the opportunity to select two topics that are the most relevant to their current work, one from 8:30-9:15 am and one from 9:30-10:15 am.

General Membership Meeting immediately follows the Developing Leaders session where you will hear state level updates from the Michigan Department of Education Office of Special Education and our lobbyist. You will also hear updates from the President on the Board meetings, current MAASE work and have the opportunity to give input on the direction of the organization.
