At the start of the pandemic, the Ohio Department of Education and OCALI partnered together to launch InspirED as a way to support educators, parents, caregivers, and professionals trying to quickly pivot to a virtual learning environment. Since the beginning, the goal for InspirED has remained the same: provide concise and accessible webinars with a focus on resources and strategies that can be immediately put to use. As this series wraps, we are proud to have touched the lives of so many and will continue to do so on our video gallery and on our YouTube channel. Join us as we take a look back on our journey.

Presented by: JoHannah Ward, Director for Ohio Department of Eduction's Office for Exceptional Children; Shawn Henry, Executive Director for OCALI
