The Idaho Training Clearinghouse (ITC), a website listing all current special education related trainings across the state, was created as part of the Idaho Department of Education’s State Improvement Grant to link special educators and parents of students with disabilities with training opportunities across multiple agencies and parent groups.
The ITC has three primary goals: (1) to inform stakeholders of training opportunities and expedite online registration; (2) to gather evaluative feedback on the usefulness and impact of trainings to inform future planning for inservice delivery in the state; and (3) to support distance education by creating online tools to foster learning communities of trainers and participants across the state.
