WORDS OF WELCOME
FROM ANNE AND SUE
Welcome back!
A special welcome to all ISRTs new to the role.
2001-2002 is already a very busy year for all in
relation to special education. We are very
enthused and excited by the start up of our
electronic IEP with the IEP Engine. This will be
a great addition for all of us to our technological
tool kit.
ISRTs will be pleased to note that another
technological improvement is our addition of
computer scoring software for our CCAT,
Woodcock and Key Math Assessment tools.
Once again this year we will continue to keep
you posted on all new Ministry and Board
initiatives as related to Special Education.
Remember help is always a call or email away.
Your Case Manager or Coordinator will be
happy to help in any way.
