September Members on the Move
TED members had some very impressive “moves” this month! We continue to stretch our International Reach! Dr. Michael Kennedy is taking COACHED to Australia! Dr. Susan Main from Edith Cohen University received a grant using COACHED to better observe and give feedback to Australian special education candidates in rural and very remote Australia! While in Perth, Dr. Kennedy ran in another TED Member, Dr. Christopher Cormier serving as a Professor In Residence at ECU.
