    Strategy A Day Calendar

    The “Strategy A Day” calendar is a collaborative effort between MITS (Michigan), OCALI (Ohio), PATINS Project (Indiana) and SLATE (State Leaders of Assistive Technology in Education).  The concept has been adapted from Loudoun Public Schools in Virginia.  We are asking educators to share great ideas to reach all students.  Our goal is to have the calendar available in both print and electronic formats for the 2011-2012 school year, meaning we need 365 submissions by August 15th!  Please share your expertise!
