This four-hour workshop is designed for anyone that is involved in an educational setting from the Superintendent of a School District, Counselors, Athletic Trainers, Food Service Personnel, and Bus Drivers. The class is broken down into three separate sections. The first hour encompasses signs and symptoms of stress that anyone that is under a great deal of stress may be exhibiting. Participants usually come away from this hour with an awareness of the stress that they might be under. The second hour discusses how our region is not alone in the struggles within education. We can put some statistical information behind how our educators feel. Finally, the last part of the class will discuss Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). We introduce the concept of CISM to the participants and participate in a mock debriefing that is relatable to everyone in the room.

Principles of Active Learning part 2 of 2 (A continuation of the Principles from session 1) This session focuses on the following principles of Active Learning: The Five Phases of Educational Treatment: Offering Imitation Interaction Sharing the Work Consequences Active Learning is an instructional approach developed by Dr. Lilli Nielsen of Denmark. It is an instructional strategy for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, deaf/blind, developmentally functioning below 48 months old regardless of chronological age, and learners with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional delays. Individuals with multiple disabilities (including cerebral palsy, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, autism, hearing impairment, etc.) are at great risk from developing reliance on others to interact with the world around them. Active Learning recognizes that every child/adult with special needs is unique and emphasizes simple ways to change the environment so that a child becomes an active participant and an engaged learner.

This is part 2 of a 5 part series. In his book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics Grades K-12, author Peter Liljedahl describes 14 structures as “institutional norms–norms that have not changed since the inception of an industrial-age model” that shape students’ behavior from the early years of education (Liljedahl, 2021). At the heart of Liljedahl’s vision lies the concept of the “Thinking Classroom” – a dynamic ecosystem where mathematical discourse thrives and students engage in productive struggle. It’s not just a set of strategies. It’s a comprehensive approach to building a classroom environment where thinking takes center stage. Each session will highlight different strategies from Peter's book. All participants will receive a book.

Drowning in completing a dyslexia evaluation within the FIE? There is often confusion about the exact components of identifying dyslexia in a reading evaluation. During this session, participants will decipher the key components of the Texas Dyslexia Handbook to increase their awareness of critical components to include for dyslexia evaluations in Texas. Participants will learn how to administer the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD), which is the first comprehensive assessment of dyslexia, eliminating the need to pull tests from different assessments. From a screener to rating scales to a direct assessment to the Dyslexia Interventions and Recommendations Companion Guide, the TOD helps examiners connect data to develop IEPs and targeted intervention plans to address specific skill weaknesses. This session is appropriate for reading specialists, educational diagnosticians, school psychologists, and speech–language pathologists.

This session focuses on the following principles of Active Learning: Materials: Understand basic considerations for selecting materials for use in Active Learning environments and activities. Get ideas about materials that engage the learner based on his preferences and skills. Find examples of how material selection influences the activity of the learner. Assessment: Learn what the Functional Scheme is and what Dr. Nielsen designed it for How to score the Functional Scheme initially How to update the Functional Scheme to track progress How to use the Assessment of Levels of Function to develop a profile of student functioning Active Learning is an instructional approach developed by Dr. Lilli Nielsen of Denmark. It is an instructional strategy for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, deaf/blind, developmentally functioning below 48 months old regardless of chronological age, and learners with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional delays. Individuals with multiple disabilities (including cerebral palsy, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, autism, hearing impairment, etc.) are at great risk from developing reliance on others to interact with the world around them. Active Learning recognizes that every child/adult with special needs is unique and emphasizes simple ways to change the environment so that a child becomes an active participant and an engaged learner.

This four-hour workshop is designed for anyone that is involved in an educational setting from the Superintendent of a School District, Counselors, Athletic Trainers, Food Service Personnel, and Bus Drivers. The class is broken down into three separate sections. The first hour encompasses signs and symptoms of stress that anyone that is under a great deal of stress may be exhibiting. Participants usually come away from this hour with an awareness of the stress that they might be under. The second hour discusses how our region is not alone in the struggles within education. We can put some statistical information behind how our educators feel. Finally, the last part of the class will discuss Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). We introduce the concept of CISM to the participants and participate in a mock debriefing that is relatable to everyone in the room.

This session focuses on the following principles of Active Learning: Implementation: When you have completed this session you should be able to: Discuss basic implementation strategies for using an Active Learning approach in school, home and community environments. Suggest activities and environments that match the learner’s developmental level, needs and preferences and can help a learner to develop motor skills such as grasp, reach, balance, independent sitting, standing, and walking using Active Learning equipment and activities. Equipment: Learn how to use various pieces of equipment (both things you buy and things you can make) with each student to meet his/her needs in developing motor, cognitive, social, emotional and perceptual skills. Active Learning is an instructional approach developed by Dr. Lilli Nielsen of Denmark. It is an instructional strategy for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, deaf/blind, developmentally functioning below 48 months old regardless of chronological age, and learners with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional delays. Individuals with multiple disabilities (including cerebral palsy, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, autism, hearing impairment, etc.) are at great risk from developing reliance on others to interact with the world around them. Active Learning recognizes that every child/adult with special needs is unique and emphasizes simple ways to change the environment so that a child becomes an active participant and an engaged learner.

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!

This workshop is part 3 of a 5 part series. In his book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics Grades K-12, author Peter Liljedahl describes 14 structures as “institutional norms–norms that have not changed since the inception of an industrial-age model” that shape students’ behavior from the early years of education (Liljedahl, 2021). At the heart of Liljedahl’s vision lies the concept of the “Thinking Classroom” – a dynamic ecosystem where mathematical discourse thrives and students engage in productive struggle. It’s not just a set of strategies. It’s a comprehensive approach to building a classroom environment where thinking takes center stage. Each session will highlight different strategies from Peter's book. All participants will receive a book.

This workshop is part 4 of a 5 part series. In his book, Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics Grades K-12, author Peter Liljedahl describes 14 structures as “institutional norms–norms that have not changed since the inception of an industrial-age model” that shape students’ behavior from the early years of education (Liljedahl, 2021). At the heart of Liljedahl’s vision lies the concept of the “Thinking Classroom” – a dynamic ecosystem where mathematical discourse thrives and students engage in productive struggle. It’s not just a set of strategies. It’s a comprehensive approach to building a classroom environment where thinking takes center stage. Each session will highlight different strategies from Peter's book. All participants will receive a book.

This session focuses on the following principles of Active Learning: Documentation: Participants will learn: How to use the Functional Scheme to document skills acquisition in your student. How to document progress in IEP goals and objectives for students using Active Learning. How to document student activity in specific Active Learning environments. How to develop a student portfolio for students using an Active Learning approach. Participants are encouraged to bring a completed Functional Scheme Assessment to be able to develop appropriate PLAAFPs and Goals for their students who are functioning at the Active Learning level. Active Learning is an instructional approach developed by Dr. Lilli Nielsen of Denmark. It is an instructional strategy for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, deaf/blind, developmentally functioning below 48 months old regardless of chronological age, and learners with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional delays. Individuals with multiple disabilities (including cerebral palsy, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, autism, hearing impairment, etc.) are at great risk from developing reliance on others to interact with the world around them. Active Learning recognizes that every child/adult with special needs is unique and emphasizes simple ways to change the environment so that a child becomes an active participant and an engaged learner.

This is the time of year that end-of-year testing is upon us, and before you know it, the school year has concluded! As school years begin to conclude, it is important for campuses to intentionally develop a plan to utilize end-of -year data (EOY) to make instructional decisions for the upcoming school year. The instructional coach plays an important role as they support data analysis of student cohorts so next year’s teachers are equipped with the necessary tools for planning for the following year. This session will support instructional coaches in developing a plan as they collaborate with administrators in reviewing end of year data so effective next steps are in place for the upcoming year.
