Understanding “the brain”- and knowing what the research proves about how and when we’re “ready to learn” - can be extremely interesting and FUN! Good teachers can powerfully impact their students’ learning outcomes when they employ the research and incorporate powerful brain-building activities that are multi-sensory, multi-learning style, and multi-domain. In this workshop presentation, you’ll learn ways to actively engage our students in language rich, emergent/early literacy activities they’ll delight in again and again, as we integrate the powerful learning tools of music, movement, drama, and dance into our daily classroom experiences. If you’ve always wanted to include the powerful connection of music in your day, but consider yourself to be a “non-musical” teacher, fear not - this workshop will provide you with easy-to-use tools to help you be successful incorporating music and movement every time! You’ll reduce classroom stress, energize students, awaken both hemispheres of the brain, and work a ton of important developmental skills! Learn to empower and motivate your young learners through “brain-building activities” that happen to use music and movement fun.

November 20, 2019 6:00 PM - November 20, 2019 8:30 PM
Region One ESC is proud to offer educational documentaries for the community. The first feature film is Who Cares About Kelsey? Film Synopsis:
When Kelsey Carroll entered high school, she was a more likely candidate for the juvenile justice system than graduation. Diagnosed with ADHD and carrying the emotional scars of homelessness and substance abuse, as well as the actual scars of repeated self-mutilation, Kelsey was volatile, disruptive and, by her own admission, "not a nice person" to be around. As a freshman at Somersworth (NH) High School, she didn't earn a single academic credit, but she did get suspended for dealing drugs.
During Kelsey's sophomore year, a new school leadership team implemented Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a youth-directed planning process called RENEW, and other reforms to improve the school's culture and reduce the dropout rate. This schoolwide overhaul gave Kelsey a chance at a different outcome.
Who Cares About Kelsey? follows Kelsey through the ups and downs of her senior year. As the film delves into Kelsey's life, we watch her navigate the halls and classrooms of her school and the fraught terrain of family and romantic relationships. Kelsey interacts with a military father who questions her account of the past and dismisses her plans for the future. She manages her relationship with a mother trying to atone for past failures that set in motion some of Kelsey's most destructive behaviors. She spends much of her time with a boyfriend she cherishes but whose loyalty and support for Kelsey's newly forming independence are uncertain.
Who Cares About Kelsey? will make viewers reconsider the "problem kids" in their own high schools and spark new conversations about an education revolution that's about empowering--not overpowering--our most emotionally and behaviorally challenged youth. **This film features some language and may not be appropriate for small children. View discretion is advised.

December 05, 2019 6:00 PM - December 05, 2019 8:30 PM
Region One ESC is proud to offer educational documentaries for the community. The second feature film is Stolen Education. Film Synopsis: Stolen Education documents the untold story of Mexican-American school children who challenged discrimination in Texas schools in the 1950s and changed the face of education in the Southwest.
As a 9-year-old second-grader, Lupe had been forced to remain in the first grade for three years, not because of her academic performance but solely because she was Mexican American. She was one of eight young students who testified in a federal court case in 1956 to end the discriminatory practice (Hernandez et al. v. Driscoll Consolidated Independent School District), one of the first post-Brown desegregation court cases to be litigated.
Degraded for speaking Spanish and dissuaded from achieving academically, Mexican American students were relegated to a “beginner,” “low,” and then “high” first grade – a practice that was not uncommon across the Southwest. School officials argued in the case that this practice was necessary because the "retardation of Latin children" would adversely impact the education of White children.
The film portrays the courage of these young people, testifying in an era when fear and intimidation were used to maintain racial hierarchy and control. The students won the case, but for almost sixty years the case was never spoken about in the farming community where they lived despite its significance.
Stolen Education presents the full story and impact for the first time, featuring the personal accounts of most of those who were at the center of the court case. The film documents not only an important moment in Mexican American history but also provides important context to understand our current educational system’s enduring legacy of segregation, discrimination, and racism. This film contains subject matter that may not be appropriate for small children.

The training will provide evaluators with the means to make systematic, valid, and up-to- date interpretations of intelligence batteries and to augment them with academic ability tests in a way that is consistent with the empirically supported Cattel-Horn-Carrol (CHC) theory of cognitive abilities.

The Texas Administrative Code (§89.1040 (c) (1) - Eligibility Criteria) requires that the assessment team's written report of evaluation must include specific recommendations for behavioral interventions and strategies for students with Autism. Many of the evidenced-based interventions and strategies that are effective with students with Autism also work well with students who have ADHD. It is suggested that there is a co-morbidity of ADHD in approximately 50% of students with Autism; therefore, it is important for evaluation personnel to make recommendations that will address the needs of students with Autism and/or ADHD that will allow them to be successful in school as well as other settings.
Participants will learn about specific recommendations for behavioral interventions and instructional strategies to consider when developing evaluation recommendations for a Full Individual Evaluation (FIE) for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or ADHD.

132088 - Educational Documentary Series - The Bully Project
February 11, 2020 6:00 PM - February 11, 2020 8:30 PM
February 11, 2020 6:00 PM - February 11, 2020 8:30 PM
Region One ESC is proud to offer educational documentaries for the community. The fourth film features The Bully Project. Film summary: Over 13 million American kids will be bullied this year, making it the most common form of violence experienced by young people in the nation. The new documentary film BULLY, directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, brings human scale to this startling statistic, offering an intimate, unflinching look at how bullying has touched five kids and their families.
BULLY is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America’s bullying crisis. Filmed over the course of the 2009/2010 school year, BULLY opens a window onto the pained and often endangered lives of bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends geographic, racial, ethnic and economic borders. It documents the responses of teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviors that defy “kids will be kids” clichés, and it captures a growing movement among parents and youths to change how bullying is handled in schools, in communities and in society as a whole.
Parents play a vital role in supporting their kids, promoting upstander rather than bystander behavior, and teaching and modeling empathy in the home.

132094 - Educational Documentary Series - The Most Dangerous Year
March 24, 2020 6:00 PM - March 24, 2020 8:30 PM
March 24, 2020 6:00 PM - March 24, 2020 8:30 PM
Region One ESC is proud to offer educational documentaries for the community. The fifth film features The Most Dangerous Year. Film Synopsis: About the film: In early 2016, when a dark wave of anti-transgender “bathroom bills” began sweeping across the nation, The Human Rights Campaign published a report identifying 2016 as the most dangerous year for transgender Americans. In Washington State, six such “bathroom bills” were introduced in the State Legislature. Documentary filmmaker Vlada Knowlton captured the ensuing civil rights battle from the perspective of a small group of embattled parents as they banded together to fight a deluge of proposed laws that would strip away the rights of their young, transgender children. As one of the parents, Knowlton presents an intimate portrait of her own struggle to protect her 5-year-old transgender daughter from laws inspired by ignorance and fear.
From tension-filled Senate hearings in Olympia to intimate household settings of the families involved; from thought-provoking conversations with key lawmakers to elucidating facts explained by leading scientists - The Most Dangerous Year explores the transgender civil rights battle in all its richness and complexity. While the film follows the story and outcome of anti-transgender legislation in Washington, the heart of the film lies in the stories of the families who made the decision to accept and support their kids for exactly who they are. Viewer discretion is advised.

Description: This advanced workshop will outline the critical issues involved in nondiscriminatory evaluation of Specific Learning Disability (SLD) with English learners and will include presentation of a practical framework for assessment, an evidence-based approach for determining test score validity, and a full operationalization of criteria and procedures for determining SLD using a pattern of strengths and weaknesses (PSW) approach. These elements will be presented and described within the context of contemporary tools and research that are supported by use of X-BASS and C-LIM to facilitate evaluation of the validity of test scores and PSW analyses for SLD, as well as supporting evaluation of language with the Ortiz PVAT to address the concept of "difference vs. disorder." Case studies will be used to illustrate procedures, decision points, and integration of these contemporary tools and provide a step-by-step guide for their use in evaluating ELs, regardless of an evaluator’s own bilingual abilities. Overall, participants will receive specific guidance on establishing psychometric, theoretical, and construct validity of test scores, as well as in organizing data for SLD identification within a modern PSW model. Participants encouraged to bring their laptops to receive hands-on experience in using the X-BASS and C-LIM software.
Objectives: In general, participants will learn how to:
1) Recognize the relevant variables that affect test score validity for culturally and linguistically diverse learners.
2) Establish appropriate expectations of test performance for English learners based on current and historical research.
3) Use the C-LIM module in X-BASS for evaluating and establishing test score validity with ELs.
4) Use the PSW Analyzer in X-BASS for evaluating and establishing SLD within a PSW framework.
5) Use the Ortiz PVAT to support diagnostic evaluation of language-based ability, determine intervention/instructional need, and monitor progress/growth for ELs.
6) Apply a comprehensive, systematic framework for nondiscriminatory assessment that represents evidence-based practice.
7) Conduct comprehensive, systematic, and defensible evaluations of culturally and linguistically diverse learners without having to be bilingual or speak another language.

Film summary: Forced to run from the Texas Rangers after a heated misunderstanding leads to the death of a lawman, Mexican American farmer Gregorio Cortez sets off in desperate flight, evading a massive manhunt on horseback for days. Producer-star Edward James Olmos, seeking to shed new light on a historical incident that had been enshrined in a corrido (folk song), enlisted director Robert M. Young, a longtime practitioner of socially engaged realism, to helm this trailblazing independent film, a landmark of Chicano cinema. Shifting its perspective between the pursuers and the pursued, The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez is a thrilling chase film and a nuanced procedural that peels away the layers of prejudice and myth surrounding Cortez, uncovering the true story of an ordinary man persecuted by the law and transfigured by legend. Based on true events.
