Beat the Heat 2020 - Virtual Silver Anniversary
COVID-19 UPDATE: We have transitioned this conference to an online only presentation. Details are below.

Beat the Heat (thank you, COVID 19) will look a little different this year... ESC Region 13's Beat the Heat is a multi-day professional development opportunity on best practices for educators who work with children ages 3-21 with significant intellectual and low incidence disabilities.

June 17, 2020

  • June 17th is our day for “live,” online content: Keynote + Q&A with our 3 National Presenters* Pop in and out as you're able!
  • 8 CEUs
  • In-depth training content is being pre-recorded. You will be notified when you can access recordings ahead of time if you'd like to maximize Q&A time with our presenters. For those who can't register/participate until later, everything will be availble through July 31, 2020.
  • Maker Faire will be scheduled once Region 13 is open to the public and is included in your registration fee.
