THIS SESSION IS FOR SAN PERLITA ONLY. This session takes elements from the grade level reading academies offered a few years ago and incorporates methods that are specific to the struggling reader. The 3-Day academy features specific information, techniques and guidelines for each of the five components of reading. You will learn how to support a struggling reader without "watering down" the content so much that it is no longer aligned with the grade level standards. You will learn how to use differentiated instruction techniques. To register for this session you must attend all THREE days of training. This session is for general and special education elementary staff but most beneficial for elementary special education resource teachers. Each teacher receives a notebook full of resources. There are 4 hours of homework with this session, spread out into two days. Some in-class time will be allowed for homework completion. (3 training days at 6 hours each plus 4 hours of homework =22 CPE credits).

Procuring Local Foods: A wide range of policies at the local, state and federal level apply to procurement, but navigating these rules correctly can be confusing and time consuming. This training covers procurement basics, defining local, where to find local products, and the variety of ways schools can purchase locally in accordance with regulations. Sourcing local products entails more than the procurement process and can require specialized knowledge about the local marketplace that will inform a district’s purchasing decisions. In this training, we present the information and resources that districts need to purchase local products for schools.

Literacy centers are critical components of a comprehensive literacy program in a bilingual classroom. In small groups, students gain the advantage of interacting with other students and have direct and constant contact with the teacher. Literacy centers allow the teacher to provide a layer of differentiation to whole-group instruction by providing opportunities to meet the diverse needs of ELL students. These coaching days will provide bilingual teachers opportunities to learn the best practices and approaches to implementing literacy centers in their classrooms.

This institute is an ESC initiative in partnership with DataWorks with select schools to increase the use of Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) in order to improve the quality of instruction for all students, in particular students with disabilities in the general education classroom. Campus teams will work step-by-step with a consultant on the details of how to deliver EDI strategies to teach the content standards (TEKS). Staff Development components: EDI Fundamentals 1 day, Coaching for Leaders 1 day, Lesson Demonstrations 1/2 day per campus, and Campus Walkthroughs 1/2 day at volunteer campus(es). This project utilizes a combination of direct training at Region One ESC and on-site instructional coaching. The idea is that once the pertinent trainings and coaching sessions are implemented, EDI becomes a self-sustained practice—as the trainings are designed to build internal capacity by training administrators to coach their teachers. Training will take place at the Ramada Hotel, 800 Garden St, Laredo, Tx 78040

As children explore the world around them, nearly all will occasionally test boundaries and challenge authority because all children have a need for power. While most become more cooperative by age 3, some continually defy any attempt to discipline them and seemingly reject authority all together. This session provides insight into getting children to listen and respect authority figures in their lives, as well as provides effective ways to calm the storm of anger. Objectives: At the completion of this session, each participant will be able to: 1. Identify the influences upon power-based and anger-based patterns of behavior. 2. Design strategies that effectively address the five major influences identified above. 3. Design strategies that effectively prevent and de-escalate behavioral crises.

This institute is the continuation of an ESC initiative in partnership with DataWorks with select schools to increase the use of Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) in order to improve the quality of instruction for all students, in particular students with disabilities in the general education classroom. Campus teams will work step-by-step with a consultant on the details of how to design the EDI lesson framework to be used to teach the content standards (TEKS). Staff Development components: Lesson Design 1 day, Observations 1/2 day per campus This project utilizes a combination of direct training at Region One ESC and on-site instructional coaching. The idea is that once the pertinent trainings and coaching sessions are implemented, EDI becomes a self-sustained practice—as the trainings are designed to build internal capacity by training administrators to coach their teachers. Training will take place at the Ramada Hotel, 800 Garden St, Laredo, Tx 78040

Many resources are available for working with children who thrive within the traditional system and follow the expected developmental milestones. But what about the children who are not thriving, but surviving despite the system or those who have given up all together? This session examines a comprehensive survey of common diagnoses and provides strategies that empower those who appear to be unreachable. All children deserve the opportunity to discover their “best self.” Objectives: At the completion of the session, each participant will be able to: 1. Guide children beyond the ecology of despair and learned helplessness toward the discovery of their “best self.” 2. Apply a collaborative problem-solving process to develop individualized interventions that stress the prevention of behavioral and emotional challenges. 3. Apply a collaborative problem-solving approach to develop individualized interventions that stress the teaching of more effective and efficient patterns of regulation of emotions, behaviors and thoughts. This workshop is being held at Smart IStay Hotel at 1921 S. 10th St., McAllen.

This session takes elements from the grade level reading academies offered a few years ago and incorporates methods that are specific to the struggling reader. The 3-Day academy features specific information, techniques and guidelines for each of the five components of reading. You will learn how to support a struggling reader without "watering down" the content so much that it is no longer aligned with the grade level standards. You will learn how to use differentiated instruction techniques. To register for this session you must attend all THREE days of training. This session is for general and special education elementary staff but most beneficial for elementary special education resource teachers. Each teacher receives a notebook full of resources. There are 4 hours of homework with this session, spread out into two days. Some in-class time will be allowed for homework completion. (3 training days at 6 hours each plus 4 hours of homework =22 CPE credits)

This institute is an ESC initiative in partnership with DataWorks with select schools to increase the use of Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) in order to improve the quality of instruction for all students, in particular students with disabilities in the general education classroom. Campus teams will work step-by-step with a consultant on the details of how to deliver EDI strategies to teach the content standards (TEKS). Staff Development components: EDI Fundamentals 1 day, Coaching for Leaders 1 day, Lesson Demonstrations 1/2 day per campus, and Campus Walkthroughs 1/2 day at volunteer campus(es). This project utilizes a combination of direct training at Region One ESC and on-site instructional coaching. The idea is that once the pertinent trainings and coaching sessions are implemented, EDI becomes a self-sustained practice—as the trainings are designed to build internal capacity by training administrators to coach their teachers.
