Message from the Chair

Welcome to the 2010-2011 School Year!
We are so happy to have a wonderful new website full of information and resources to support both families and positive outcomes for students receiving Special Education Services in Georgia. The Learning Curve is a tool for you to use to enhance your work as a Parent Mentor, so please use the information and contribute your good ideas.  I look forward to our work together this school year.  The GaPMP is truly making a difference.  Thank you all for all that you do for Georgia families.
Best Wishes,
Anne Ladd, Chairperson
GaPMP Leadership Council

The annual meeting of GaPMP is well-respected for its outstanding trainings and spirit of partnership. It is attended by almost 200 administrators and parent mentors, GaDOE leadership team and staff, GLRS Directors, Title 1 Parent Involvement leaders and Parent to Parent of GA team members.

"This annual conference is considered ‘hands down’ by educators throughout the state, as one of the best trainings offered year after year", said Dr. Mikki Garcia, Special Education Director, Chatham/Savannah.
