Spend a day with us learning all about the Math RBIS! What are RBIS? A set of research-based practices that highlight common misconceptions in the field. Topics that require conceptual or philosophical changes in approach to instruction. A set of practices that are supported by research and should be present in classrooms, regardless of instructional materials. A set of practices that relate directly to the design of instructional materials AND/OR the approach required to implement them well. The essential best practices in mathematics instruction are content specific practices that are supported by research and should be present in classrooms regardless of instructional materials. In mathematics, there are four RBIS that have been identified. Research shows that these four strategies are effective for all learners. This is the foundation of strong instruction. Join us for this FREE workshop to learn more about these four RBIS!

Empower Your Students with multiple disabilities through Active Learning! Are you an educator working in an adaptive learning environment, supporting individuals who are functioning at the fundamental levels of learning? If so, this transformative 4-day workshop is designed just for you! Active Learning is a research-based approach developed by Dr. Lilli Nielsen, specifically for learners who function developmentally below 48 months—regardless of their chronological age. This approach is especially effective for students with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges, including those with cerebral palsy, visual impairments, autism, hearing impairments, and multiple disabilities. Many learners with complex access needs often become passive observers in their own world, relying on others for interaction. Active Learning changes that! This approach empowers students to take charge of their learning by creating environments that spark curiosity, encourage independence, and promote meaningful engagement. Join us to discover simple yet powerful strategies that will transform how your students explore, interact, and thrive! Day 1: Principles part 1 Day 2: Principles part 2 Day 3 Assessment, Implementation, Documentation Day 4: Materials, Equipment, and make and take!

In Leverage Leadership 2.0, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo says that planning is a leadership lever that can help in every sort of school, from the lowest performing to the highest. Focusing on lesson alignment ensures there is a shared understanding around what makes for quality instructional planning, and is a natural extension of data-driven instruction: teach students what they need, not what they already know. Strong plans link together all of a student’s learning to make it rigorous, meaningful, and memorable. TIL Lesson Alignment is based on the work of Paul Bambrick-Santoyo in Leverage Leadership 2.0 and trains leaders to guide their teachers in ensuring effective daily lesson alignment to standards and to assessments in ways 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. In Leverage Leadership 2.0, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo says that lesson plans are meaningless until we define how we’ll assess the student learning. In that case, a core piece of ensuring high quality planning is locking in effective daily and weekly formative assessments. Too often, curriculum plans and assessment writers are totally separate. This is a common pitfall in planning for effective instruction, and it can limit effectiveness of even the most well written curriculum. Without clarity on and alignment to the rigor of the assessment, you risk every teacher interpreting the rigor of the curriculum differently. TIL Formative Assessment is based on the work of Paul Bambrick-Santoyo in Leverage Leadership 2.0 and trains leaders to guide their teachers in crafting rigorous and aligned daily and weekly assessments that will support analysis of student mastery and gaps. It also trains leaders to coach their teachers to master the skills of assessment writing and analysis to ensure their continuous improvement in designing formative assessments.

Spend a day with us learning all about the Math RBIS! What are RBIS? A set of research-based practices that highlight common misconceptions in the field. Topics that require conceptual or philosophical changes in approach to instruction. A set of practices that are supported by research and should be present in classrooms, regardless of instructional materials. A set of practices that relate directly to the design of instructional materials AND/OR the approach required to implement them well. The essential best practices in mathematics instruction are content specific practices that are supported by research and should be present in classrooms regardless of instructional materials. In mathematics, there are four RBIS that have been identified. Research shows that these four strategies are effective for all learners. This is the foundation of strong instruction.
