MASE Slice of Collaboration

Registration & Schedule here!
Register for the upcoming sessions of SLICE!

We also have a rough draft of the topics for the first portion of the year, but note that those topics can change if there is an issue finding presenters or a new issue arises. 

If you have any other topics, something you would present on, etc, please contact Erin Toninato etoninatomase@gmail.com

MASE Professional Development Request
As a learning organization, MASE continually strives to provide quality professional learning opportunities to all our members.  If you have a suggestion or request for an upcoming conference, Slice Session, New Leaders Topic or any other learning opportunity that would be of benefit to you and other MASE members, please share it below and we will work to include it in our professional learning opportunities!

Thank you for sharing your professional learning needs! Submit your suggestion/requests here: 
https://forms.gle/HFwkV2ARTbwZpZpMA.

The "Slice of Collaboration" is supporting your preparations for the upcoming school year. The focus of the conversations will be on our members who deliver services and supports to students with disabilities each and every day. We also look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with MDE. 

We have set up a structure that we hope will allow communication between the department and our members while keeping the focus on life in the school districts. During our first call of the month, we encourage you to identify questions or comments that could be addressed by the department. During the second call of the month, representatives from the department will be invited to take the first half hour to address those questions or comments. 

The time will also allow the department the opportunity to share information and seek input from you.
​
MDE may also organize a similar meeting on their own and is willing to be part of other practitioner conversations such as those related to delivering services and supports in settings 3 and 4. Additionally, you can expect communication regarding potential Directors Forums.

Additional Opportunity for MASE Business Partner Members Only!

SPONSOR SLICE OF COLLABORATION

Thank you so much for supporting the mission of Minnesota Administrators for Special Education as a MASE Business Partner.  We are excited to offer an additional opportunity for partnership that is exclusive to our business partners.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, MASE members started meeting two times per month via Zoom for an hour over lunch to share ideas on how to best lead and to learn what's working for others. This “Slice of Collaboration” was very well received with 150-250 members participating each session and an additional 40 members viewing the recording afterward if they were unable to attend live. As the need to discuss COVID-related items diminished, the meetings continued as an ongoing support for our members.  Currently, presenters and panelists facilitate learning and discussions on a wide variety of universally relevant and timely topics.  

Slice of Collaboration has created a unique  opportunity to increase visibility of our Business Partners. Interested Business Partners can sponsor a Slice of Collaboration. During the session you sponsor, you will be given a 3-5 minute opportunity to highlight your work, service or product with our attendees somewhere near the middle of the program.
Only one featured sponsor may participate in each Slice of Collaboration Session, and sessions will fill on a first-come first-serve basis. We are only offering this to MASE Business Partners; all tiers are encouraged to consider this opportunity.  All sessions are held virtually from 12-1pm on Tuesdays.  The cost to sponsor a Slice of Collaboration is $750, regardless of your partnership status.

If you have any questions regarding sponsoring the MASE Slice of Collaboration, please contact: 
Lori Zimmerman, Director of Professional Learning (lori.zimmerman@mnasa.org) and Erin Toninato, Executive Director (etoninatomase@gmail.com).
