Supporting learning and mental health of youth in South Carolina.

Training on New SEED

On June 18th at the SDE LEA information session with district special education administrators, representatives from SDE will be discussing the differences between the 2011 and 2024 eligibility criteria. They have prepared a side-by-side comparison document that was sent to directors. SDE will be offering four virtual live training sessions for school psychologists over the summer. Each session will include the same content. The session is being offered on various dates and times for participant convenience. In other words, participants only need to attend one of the sessions to get the full content. Here are the dates and times for the sessions for school psychologists:

June 25th (9-12)
June 27th (1-4)
July 8th (9-12)
July 11th (1-4)

You can access any of the sessions using the following meeting information. In case you didn’t get a chance to see the new SEED you can access it at this link: Standards for Evaluation and Eligibility Determination (SEED) (sc.gov)

The link to the sessions as well as a copy of the side-by-side document will be sent to all SCASP contacts via email. Should you not receive it by next week, please reach out to us at scaschpsy@bellsouth.net for the links.
