A special welcome to all ISRTs new to the role. 2001-2002 is already a very busy year for all in relation to special education. We are very enthused and excited by the start up of our electronic IEP with the IEP Engine. This will be a great addition for all of us to our technological tool kit. ISRTs will be pleased to note that another technological improvement is our addition of computer scoring software for our CCAT, Woodcock and Key Math Assessment tools. Once again this year we will continue to keep you posted on all new Ministry and Board initiatives as related to Special Education. Remember help is always a call or email away. Your Case Manager or Coordinator will be happy to help in any way.
