 A new product from TATS – eUpdates – is being sent to Community of Practice members. eUpdates are an additional activity for members in addition to conference calls on topics of interest. They are brief information bits on one of the TATS priority area topics (Transition, Inclusion, Program Effectiveness, Family Involvement, Curriculum and Instruction, and Evaluation and Assessment) and will be sent to once a month. Each update consists of a best practice, questions for reflection, and references and resource links around the topic. When they are distributed, the primary audience for each will be identified (teaching staff, administrators, and/or families). If you have not joined a TATS community of practice, you may sign up at any time by going to this link http://www.tats.ucf.edu/Forms/EnrollForm_Community_of_Practice.html.
