When a visual impairment and a learning disability coexist, many times, one may go unidentified. Typically, that is the presence of a learning disability. This workshop explores the often-overlooked intersection of visual impairments and specific learning disabilities (SLD), emphasizing the importance of comprehensive assessment and tailored educational strategies. Dr. Beth Jones and Dr. Tim Allen will help participants gain an understanding of the most recent guidance from TEA regarding the comorbidity of specific learning disabilities and visual impairments, as well as new developments from the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). Learners will be exposed to the VI-LD-RTI framework and learn how to apply the model using a student case study. Participants will be presented with recommendations for effective assessment and intervention. This full-day workshop is designed for evaluation teams comprising diagnosticians, school psychologists, providers of dyslexia instruction (PDIs), and teachers of students with visual impairments (TSVIs). Participants will leave equipped with enhanced knowledge and practical strategies to effectively identify, assess, and support students with visual impairments who may also have specific learning disabilities, thereby promoting their academic success and overall well-being.

It has been two years since ECR was added to the STAAR assessment. In that time we have all learned, grown, and risked much to meet this challenge. Now that we have a system down and a better understanding of this task, it is time to focus on refining the ECR so that it is not formulaic, but rather leverages the skills of good authors so that we can grow great writers in our clasrroms. This session will focus on any relevant updates regarding ECR, the use of the author's craft within writing, and how to guide authentic revision and editing in drafts.

Discussing and planning together is our first step to higher levels of achievement. Brainstorming different strategies, such as anchor charts and brain dumps, and then making them fit the specific needs of students will be our first task. Colorful anchor charts can help students remember the material, while brain dumps are valuable to ease students' stress when taking an assessment. After the workshop, it's essential to reflect on when and how to use the tools you made, and that is the baking part of the process.

Student agency refers to the opportunity for students to make choices and take control of their own learning. It empowers students to influence their own path to mastery. It can be scary to give control of the learning to our students, but by making some simple changes in our classrooms, we can cultivate a more learner-centered environment and move towards the "Distinguished" end of the T-TESS rubric. Discover how the principles of student choice and ownership and ignite enthusiasm in our learners and help deepen their understanding.
