Redwood Area Community Center, 901 E Cook Street, Redwood Falls, MN 56283

The Region 6 & 8 Low Incidence Projects are pleased to offer a series of Special Education Licensure via Portfolio Cohort Work Sessions for educators who have been approved by the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) to pursue special education licensure through the Licensure via Portfolio pathway.

These full-day networking and work sessions are designed to provide ongoing support as participants develop and prepare their required portfolio(s) for submission to PELSB. Sessions will provide dedicated work time, opportunities to ask questions and problem-solve, guidance and support from regional special education leaders, and collaboration with other educators working through the licensure via portfolio process.

Participants are encouraged to bring their portfolio materials and use each session to organize evidence, reflect on required competencies, develop portfolio components, and make consistent progress toward submission.

Registration: Participants must first be approved by PELSB to pursue licensure via portfolio. Once approved, contact Cassandra Gohman at cassandra.gohman@swwc.org  to register for the cohort work sessions.

Requests should be made by an individual with a disability who needs auxiliary aids, closed captioning, and services, or by someone acting on that individual’s behalf. Requests may be made either in writing or orally. Requests need to be made and received by Deecy at least two weeks in advance of the program, activity or service in question. SWWC will address all requests but may not be able to arrange for the provision of an appropriate auxiliary aid, closed captioning or service if notice is not received two weeks in advance of the program, activity, or service. SWWC requires a notice of three business days to cancel an accommodation request. If an individual fails to give notice of cancellation three business days prior to the event, SWWC reserves the right to bill the individual’s school district/agency for this expense.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be received by 4:30pm on the date noted in your registration confirmation email to qualify for a full refund, after which all registrations are final, and no refunds will be issued. Substitution of attendees from the same district/organization will be allowed up to the day of the event. In the event a workshop is canceled by SWWC, a full refund will be given. SWWC will notify registered attendees that the refund will be occurring and will post on the account for the credit card utilized for payment. This cancellation policy, including specific cancellation details provided in event registration information, will be followed when determining if a refund will be issued for cancellations that are not the decision of SWWC.
