Resources from the Field

The ID&R Office makes available many useful documents for the benefit of all State MEP staff. Some of these have been developed by local districts that have given permission to share the materials in the spirit of intrastate collaboration.

Please contact our office if your district has resource materials to share with other state MEPs.

Check out a mini-lesson that Polk uses with their welcome bags for OSYs. It is basic but it has been useful in Polk county.

We are pleased to share a PowerPoint prepared by the Collier County MEP staff regarding "to join" moves. To join moves are those where the child or the worker do not travel at the same time in order to seek or obtain qualifying work. We want to thank the Collier County staff, particularly Ms. Maricela Pineda and Ms. Jenny Cruz, for sharing this file.
