HQT Brochure Information
  Ann Brennan, OSPA Director of Legislative Services
  February 7, 2005
  Thanks to Dale DeGirolamo of the Northern Ohio SERRC for the following information about the newly released brochure on HQT.

I thought you'd be interested...

I have been advised by the Office of Exceptional Children that the HQT Special Education Intervention Specialists brochure has been published to the Center for the Teaching Profession's home page under "Hot Topics" at http://www.ode.state.oh.us/teaching-profession/

It is available in both the tabloid size (11" x 17") and a printable 8 ½" x 11" version.

The printed hard copy of the brochure also will be mailed this month to all superintendents, and junior high and high school principals for distribution to the intervention specialists in their building. The Northern Ohio SERRC
will also receive printed hard copies when available.
