Case Management: A Deeply Practical Guide to Navigating the Complexities of Special Education
Updated: Oct 7
Available as an Institute by Terra Geer
Special education teachers are driven by their passion for teaching our most complex learners—it’s why they chose this path.
But alongside teaching, they must also take on the demanding role of case management, which requires a completely different set of skills and is time-consuming, complicated, and often overwhelming.
Is it any wonder that these pressures lead to low morale, burnout, and high attrition rates?
It doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s equip our special education teachers with the tools and strategies they need to succeed at case management. Let’s teach them how to get organized before the school year begins, manage their responsibilities throughout the year, and tackle the inevitable surprises with confidence.
In this comprehensive in-district Training Institute, Terra Geer will guide special education teachers through practical solutions to smoothly navigate their biggest challenges and thrive in their roles.
