Join us as we rethink how the daily actions of an institution play a vital part in growth for staff and students through the lens of culture and climate. We will focus on the journey of reinventing the culture of the childcare facility. We will identify steps that consider the entire employee experience, or “journey,” from attraction thru retention. Then, when you can create a solid foundation to build upon, you will experience new successes that only facilities brave enough to scale will venture.

In this three-day session, campus leadership teams will learn two leadership protocols from Paul Bambrick-Santoyo's work in Leverage Leadership 2.0. in distinct Cycles. Cycle 1 will focus on the Lesson Alignment Protocols and Leader Monitoring of Lesson Alignment. Cycle 2 will focus on Formative Assessment Protocols and Leader Monitoring of Formative Assessment. TIL Lesson Planning trains leaders how to guide their teachers to build effective daily lesson plans that will drive student learning, as well as how to monitor that planning to see which parts are working and which aren’t, and how to coach teachers to master the skills they need to make their planning consistently effective. TIL Formative Assessment trains leaders on how to guide their teachers to craft rigorous and aligned daily and weekly assessments that will support analysis of student mastery and gaps, and how to coach their teachers to master the skills of assessment writing and analysis to ensure their continuous improvement in designing formative assessments. In this hands-on, minds-on session, leaders will engage with and practice both protocols at a level that will facilitate seamless implementation at the campus level. Participants will receive copies of both Get Better Faster and Leverage Leadership 2.0 to facilitate deeper D.D.I. implementation within their districts. Teams will receive monthly implementation support and coaching after their initial face-to-face engagement. Leadership teams should include a team of three (principal manager, principal, and another campus leader.) Teams registering for Cycle 1 will be automatically registered for Cycle 2 that occurs in November.

By law, Texas Middle School Fluency Assessment (TMSFA) must be given to all 7th-grade students who failed the previous year's state test before the end of the 1st six weeks of school. All available data, including the Spring 2021 assessment, should be used to determine at-risk students. We must determine deficits in student reading using an approved reading assessment instrument. From the results of this assessment, a plan must be made for reading intervention to help each student read on grade level. This session will focus on planning the intervention using your test results. Bring those results with you, and work with our team of specialists to create a plan of action. You may attend this workshop in-person or via distance learning.

Our scores across the state show our students struggle with integer operations and solving equations at every grade level! Teachers know students have trouble remembering integer rules, and which term gets moved when isolating a variable. The struggles and gaps can be closed for our students to reach mastery. Come and join us as we will learn how to use a variety of hands-on and virtual approaches for students to "get it" and retain it!

Without a strategy for chunking longer words into manageable parts, students may look at a longer word and simply resort to guessing what it is — or altogether skipping it. Familiarity with syllable-spelling conventions helps readers know whether a vowel is long, short, a diphthong, r-controlled, or whether endings have been added. Familiarity with syllable patterns helps students to read longer words accurately and fluently and to solve spelling problems.

Our new workshop, STEMulating Design Challenges in Science, is a guide to implementing design challenges in the science classroom. Our ReUse Competition is just one example of an engaging design challenge. Within this scope, we will utilize the Engineering Design Process which fosters: -?the opportunity to practice skills related to collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking;? ?-supports the development of time management, adaptability, and innovative thinking;? -?connects to careers and real-world content applications; -presents guidance on how to use an engineering notebook;? -?and scaffolds this process using facilitation questions and sentence stems. Design challenges are aligned to the TEKS and encourage students to think about real-world issues and how students would solve them using available tools and materials.

We find ourselves educating a generation of students with a large population needing hands-on kinesthetic approaches to access and retain content. Our scores across the state show our students struggle with fractions! Teachers at every grade level know students do not like, nor do they understand fractions. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions is a gap for our students in all grades that needs closing! Come and join us as we will learn how to use various hands-on and virtual approaches for students to "get it" and retain it! Participants will plan and create activities that can be used immediately in the classroom to increase student understanding. ******************This session is offered for Academic Content Coop members and Region 7 Districts/Charters via face-to-face or distance learning********************

A vital skill for young writers is to be able to revise and edit their writing. Good revision and editing can transform a mediocre first draft into an excellent final paper. It’s more work but leads to real satisfaction when you find you’ve said what you wanted. Recognizing an error in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and word usage takes some practice. We will share ideas and steps to help develop little proofreaders in the classrooms.

Explicit instruction requires teaching skills and concepts with focused modeling and student practice before students try the skill independently. While this is known and backed by research, what does it look like in an ELAR classroom? How might it impact the ELAR classroom teacher in planning, delivery, and remediation? The morning session of this session will focus on these topics followed by afternoon teacher planning time, in which teachers will examine the goals of their unit, the Performance assessments associated with it, and consider how they may begin to use direct modeling in their classrooms. Follow up Office hours will be offered to support teachers in the implementation of their learning.

Questioning the author is a strategy that engages students actively with a text. Rather than reading and taking information from a text, the QtA strategy encourages students to ask questions of the author and the text. Through forming their questions, students learn more about the text. Students learn to ask questions such as: What is the author's message? Does the author explain this clearly? How does this connect to what the author said earlier? It engages students in the reading and helps to solidify their understanding of a text.

Universal Intervention (Tier 1) occurs in the general education classroom and is designed to support all students in their ability to access good instruction at grade level. Interventions and supports received during the core instructional minutes (universal time for all) meet the needs of about 80% of a school’s population for both academics and behavior. For students who may need additional intervention and support above the regular core instructional minutes, a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework is implemented to problem solve, design, and implement individualized learning plans to close identified skill gaps. Join us as we explore the why of MTSS. Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) fall under the MTSS umbrella and TEA's expectation of the framework. This introductory level will dive deep into processes of the systematic framework of academic and behavioral interventions necessary for student progress. Electronic devices are needed. Attendees will be able to participate in this webinar in their district via the Zoom link provided in the registration confirmation email.
