Fischler Faculty Members Present at Broward County Public Schools’ EASE Conference

Judy Coughlin, Ph.D and Dana Fredebaugh, Ph.D. Associate Professors at NSU’s Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice, led a discussion of what “collaboration” means and shared evidence-based strategies for successful collaboration (e.g., necessary communication skills, shared responsibility, and shared problem-solving) at the second annual Broward County Public Schools Educating All Students with Excellence (EASE) conference. The title of their presentation was Collaboration: A Key Component for Successful Inclusion.

EASE is an innovative and engaging day of professional development focused on inclusion. The conference brings parents, school administrators, general and special education teachers, and service providers together for a day filled with informative, educational and awareness-building sessions on a broad range of special education topics that promote inclusive practices for students with disabilities.
