Educational surrogates act as advocates for a child who requires exceptional student education (ESE) services. Responsibilities include making informed decisions about the child's educational needs, attending meetings and monitoring the child's progress.
Successful completion of the training and certification as an educational surrogate will qualify guardians ad litem to provide additional advocacy to children receiving ESE services and who have an individualized education program (IEP) at school.
The session will be conducted by Child Find and Parent Services Specialist Mary Petrandis with Leon County Schools. Participants may receive one (1) hour of continuing education credit. Afterward, report your hours using Optima.
The training is free and conducted online via Zoom. You can download the print flyer and register online or with the event contact below.
