Texas Instructional Leadership - Schoolwide Culture Routines - Alice ISD Schoolwide culture is not formed by motivational speeches or statements of values on the wall. It is formed by the repeated practice of good habits, beginning with a vision of what a positive, inclusive culture looks like minute-by-minute. Leaders of schools with strong student culture don’t achieve it through sheer force of personality. They develop a vision for each part of the school day, and then bring their vision to life by building systems that enable teachers, students, and anyone else on their campus to know what they should be doing and when at all parts of the day with a high level of detail. They lead with their consistency and by modeling for staff how to maintain emotional constancy and reset expectations when procedures break down. TIL Schoolwide Culture Routines is based on the work of Paul Bambrick-Santoyo in Leverage Leadership 2.0 as well as research behind inclusive, community-minded schools. Schoolwide Culture Routines trains leaders to develop their cultural vision and the systems and routines to bring that vision to reality, monitor it throughout the year, and how to intervene when necessary to ensure it stays strong. ESC Region 2 is a TEA vetted provider of TIL Trainings for schools seeking a capacity builder.

Through this process, they will develop a deeper understanding of how data-driven decision-making supports academic growth. The course will also emphasize the critical role of using this data to create a well-developed, targeted Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) that addresses identified needs, sets measurable goals, and outlines actionable strategies for continuous school improvement.

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!

Our ESC Collaboration has been putting Texas school-based SLPs first since 2012. We offer top quality webinars with highly respected presenters in the field of communication. Our interactive webinar series has proven to be an excellent source of continuing education for speech-language pathologists and other school staff. Join us in learning all year long through eleven exceptional online opportunities. Reinforce your current knowledge and add new tools to your tool box. In collaboration with ALL twenty Education Service Centers, we deliver highly relevant topics that impact SLPs every day; all conveniently accessed from your location. Writing, beyond handwriting, is a complex communication process that is learned and shaped over time. It involves the use of text and allows for improved self-expression, increased independence, and active participation in the community. It is an expected outcome of our current education system yet many students with disabilities, especially those with complex communication needs, have limited access to writing tools, writing opportunities, and writing expectations. This session will highlight the importance of including access to the letters of the alphabet in combination with other symbol sets when developing communication systems, highlight alternative writing tools, and it will provide simple strategies that can be applied early and across settings to promote long-term writing expectations and writing habits to support communication.

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!

Our ESC Collaboration has been putting Texas school-based SLPs first since 2012. We offer top quality webinars with highly respected presenters in the field of communication. Our interactive webinar series has proven to be an excellent source of continuing education for speech-language pathologists and other school staff. Join us in learning all year long through eleven exceptional online opportunities. Reinforce your current knowledge and add new tools to your tool box. In collaboration with ALL twenty Education Service Centers, we deliver highly relevant topics that impact SLPs every day; all conveniently accessed from your location. Writing, beyond handwriting, is a complex communication process that is learned and shaped over time. It involves the use of text and allows for improved self-expression, increased independence, and active participation in the community. It is an expected outcome of our current education system yet many students with disabilities, especially those with complex communication needs, have limited access to writing tools, writing opportunities, and writing expectations. This session will highlight the importance of including access to the letters of the alphabet in combination with other symbol sets when developing communication systems, highlight alternative writing tools, and it will provide simple strategies that can be applied early and across settings to promote long-term writing expectations and writing habits to support communication.

During these two pathways presented via zoom from the Leadership and Introduction MTSS modules, leaders will examine the relationship between MTSS and other programs, including tutoring, special education, and caregiver collaboration. Participants will review how data collected through the intervention process should be used by problem-solving teams to inform decisions regarding referrals for special education. Participants will also learn how MTSS data can be used as a component of student evaluation and how MTSS data can inform individualized education program (IEP) development for eligible students.
