The idea that you may begin augmenting as soon as it is known that language development is delayed is not a new idea. However, the urgency of that decision, the inclusion of guided topics with families, and the decision of the first steps for augmenting can be convoluted. Making your decisions based on language development will re-shape and guide each step leading to language development. Course certificates and certificate links within your staff development records will be available 10 days after the course end date and the posting of credit hours. TSHA credit will be offered.

EBSCO provides several eBook collections for TexQuest; in this workshop, we’ll focus on the K-8 eBook and the High School eBook collections. All the eBooks in both collections provide students with unlimited, concurrent access! That means an entire classroom can read the same book together at the same time. It means no student will ever be turned away from searching for and reading an eBook in these collections. Join us to learn how to search in the visually appealing interface; how to read eBooks, download chapters, use permalinks, and more! There will be time for hands-on practice so you can become an expert in no time. We will also discuss the other eBook collections available to see if they are right for your campus and how to access them. Finally, we’ll highlight activities for such genres as graphic novels for kids and explore all the ways you can showcase these great resources!

Simple - by spending less time teaching their students what they already know and more time on what their students need. Campus leaders will also lock in answers to the following questions: How do I know my students are learning? If they aren’t, what do I do? In this hands-on, minds-on session, leaders will engage with an easy to replicate data protocol developed by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo. Participants will receive copies of both Driven by Data 2.0 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.

In this three-day session, campus leadership teams will learn two leadership protocols from Paul Bambrick-Santoyo's work in Leverage Leadership 2.0. 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.)
