FAPE in the LRE Bootcamp

The FAPE in the LRE Bootcamp, scheduled for April 16, 2024 at the L.V. Eberhard Center in Grand Rapids, is intended to support Current EPLI Trainers of START Content, with increasing confidence and competence, in training the START FAPE in the LRE content in their local contexts. 

This Bootcamp will be a very rigorous, yet engaging session; prerequisite work is required to prepare participants for the day. In addition to strengthening the content knowledge of trainers, strategies for the instructional delivery of the FAPE in the LRE training module will be shared and practiced.

The application is due April 9, 2024.
