This session will introduce participants to TEA’s Differentiated Monitoring and Support (DMS) system for special education monitoring. Participants will gain an understanding of the required elements of special education monitoring, including the types and purposes of special education reviews and LEA may experience through the DMS system. Participants will engage in a deeper look into the LEA self-assessment, explore sources of evidence, guiding questions, compliance/strategy items, and quality levels and be able to complete the self-assessment and support ongoing LEA improvement efforts.
