The month of January brings about a time of setting goals for the new year. As a service provider, iSOSY has you covered with planning resources to help you reach your instructional goals for the new year. Take some time this month to check out the different tools available to assist you in all stages of student interaction.


You can help your students break down their goals into manageable steps so those goals can become attainable by accessing the Goal Setting resources on the iSOSY website. The resources include service provider training that offers a PowerPoint and scenarios that can help all of us feel more confident in our ability to provide goal setting workshops to the students we serve.

January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month


Human Trafficking continues to be an important topic in the U.S. You can learn more about it by visiting the U.S. State Department site HERE.

Teaching your students the international hand signal of distress could help save a life. Check out the visual above and practice the signal with your students. Talk about what to do in the event they see someone making this hand signal.
