SSEP Event for First Nation Schools

14 April 2026

September 17 – 18, 2026 | Richmond, BC & Zoom

Join LATs, educators, and school leaders for a 2-day hybrid learning experience focused on strengthening approaches to support diverse learner needs across school contexts. This event brings together practical strategies and collaborative dialogue to support students with exceptionalities, including a strong focus on effective IEP development and implementation.

Participants will have opportunities to engage in hands-on learning, connect with colleagues, and apply ideas directly to their own work. Optional supported work time will be available, including space for IEP development and one-on-one guidance.

Hosted by FNESC’s SSEP team, this event is grounded in real-world practice and explores meaningful ways to support students with exceptionalities.

Whether joining in person or online, come ready to think alongside others, share perspectives, and build skills and understanding in supporting students with exceptionalities.
