2 PaTTAN’s Mission The mission of the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) is to support the efforts and initiatives of the Bureau of Special Education, and to build the capacity of local educational agencies to serve students who receive special education services.

3 PDE’s Commitment to Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
Recognizing that the placement decision is an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team decision, our goal for each child is to ensure IEP teams begin with the general education setting with the use of supplementary aids and services before considering a more restrictive environment.

4 Purpose/Objectives The purpose of this session is to inform special education administrators on the various aspects of the Standards Aligned System (SAS) so that they can share the information and resources on SAS that are essential for special education teachers to know and access to increase student achievement. The three lenses and avenues to explore on SAS are as follows: Identification Individualization Differentiation
