This coming weekend, Dr. James Earley, managing director of Walker Partnerships, will help to extend the influence of Walker to our professional partners as he shares his special education program development expertise at two area conferences.
On Friday, Dr. Earley will be at the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Programs in Professional Education 24th Annual Learning Differences Conference, where he will participate on a panel discussing challenges faced by special education programs. Along with Dr. Stephen Gould, Patricia Sclafani-Hinkley, and Kathleen Fucci, Dr. Earley will contribute to the panel discussion “Overcoming the Separation Between General and Special Education.” With the help of expertise like that developed by Walker Partnerships, the conference will seek to address the problem of providing differentiated instruction to effectively teach all students in our public schools.
On Saturday, Dr. Earley will present the keynote address at the Perkins School For the Blind’s second annual conference Envision the Future…Transition from School to Adult Life. His address, “Building Partnerships towards a Successful Transition” will draw from his extensive work with Walker Partnerships to develop programs with strong transitional support for students with special needs and unique challenges. This expertise is highly relevant to Perkins students and families facing difficult transitions from intensive and highly structured programs to more independent programs that integrate community-based services.
