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 an 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, quality levels, be able to complete the self-assessment, and support ongoing LEA improvement efforts.
