ASCEND is an initiative for special education educators to build resources of practical, vetted, evidence-based practice examples of building essential readiness skills. Teachers will be compensated for participation through PTSB credit awarded to all course completers by submitting a final project.
Enroll in the Canvas course ASCEND 307 Essential Readiness Skills by first registering for a WDE Canvas account and emailing trina.kilty@wyo.gov for a registration link. Participants can view the Essential Readiness Skills webinar series and review the handouts. Requirements for final project completion are detailed in the Canvas course.
The Canvas course is open and accepting submissions through September 30, 2030. Upon course completion, selected submissions will be posted and considered for inclusion in the Wyoming Innovators Network Resources.
ASCEND 307 is a multi-year initiative developed through a federal grant awarded to the Wyoming Department of Education. The overarching goal of the grant is to improve outcomes for students with disabilities by enhancing personnel preparation and professional development in education and transition services.
