Key Moments and Insights from the 2024 CASE Conference

Our Supplemental Health Care Schools team recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the National Council for Administrators of Special Education (CASE) Conference 2024 in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. Mason Evans, Regional Business Development Director, and Keiley Giboney, Vice President of Business Development, represented us. We were proud to participate in this impactful event that champions excellence in special education.   

Student Independence and High-Performance Outcomes 

The conference’s overarching theme revolved around fostering student independence and high-performance outcomes, a particularly critical focus in the evolving education landscape following the global COVID-19 pandemic. Workshops and discussions were rich with innovative ideas, emphasizing maintaining educational continuity in home and hybrid learning environments. As schools continue to adapt, these strategies provide educators with actionable tools to navigate these changes effectively.   

Key Highlights of CASE Conference 

A key highlight of the CASE Conference was the emphasis on student involvement in Individualized Education Program (IEP) planning. Empowering students to take ownership of their education builds confidence and ensures their unique goals and needs remain central to the educational process. Educators can foster a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for growth by making students active participants in shaping their learning journeys.   

Community Accessibility 

Another critical theme was the focus on community accessibility—a vital factor in ensuring students thrive in and beyond the classroom. Conversations surrounding resource allocation, community support systems, and inclusivity highlighted the importance of creating a holistic environment where students feel supported at every level.   

The event also showcased the exceptional collaboration between General Education and Special Education professionals. These partnerships are essential for building inclusive classrooms that empower all students to succeed. The conference provided a platform for sharing best practices, brainstorming solutions, and celebrating leadership within the education community. Witnessing educators come together to innovate and lead was nothing short of inspiring.   

Teamwork and Leadership 

In addition to the informative sessions, the CASE Conference reminded us of the transformative power of teamwork and leadership in driving positive student outcomes. Our team was honored to engage with thought leaders and educators dedicated to advancing special education. 

Our attendance at this event confirms our commitment to supporting educators and students. The insights gained will be invaluable as we continue collaborating with schools to deliver exceptional staffing solutions tailored to their needs.   

We’re thrilled to have been part of this enriching experience and look forward to applying the innovative strategies we discovered to help schools and educators make a lasting impact. Here’s to building brighter futures for every student!
