Colorado Autism Mentor Program (CAMP)
The Colorado Autism Education Network is excited to announce a new opportunity in the 2017-18 year for staff interested in increasing leadership skills in the area of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The Colorado Autism Mentor Program (CAMP) is designed to provide more intensive training to those serving students with ASD, and in coaching other professionals to do the same. The program will be divided into stages.
- From December 2017 through June 2018, the selected staff member will receive training from network personnel (CDE ASD Team)
- Upon completion, the AU/District staff member will choose a colleague from within your district to receive the same training between December 2018 and June 2019
- Then, with network guidance, the AU/District staff member will mentor that colleague as he or she goes through the program
The purpose of this program is to help districts build capacity in serving students with ASD while receiving invaluable training in evidence-based practices and support from the Colorado Autism Education Network.
