Behavior—it’s everywhere, and as SLPs, we see it impact communication daily. But let’s be real… navigating behavior can sometimes feel like decoding a secret language. In this interactive, 3-hour virtual session, an SLP and a BCBA team up to break down the essentials of behavior science in a way that makes sense for speech therapy. We’ll tackle common behavior myths, decode tricky situations, and give you practical strategies to manage challenging behaviors while keeping communication at the heart of it all. Expect real talk, real strategies, and maybe even a few “aha!” moments along the way. Let’s bridge the gap and make behavior work for us, not against us! TSHA Credit Pending.

Join a year-long professional learning journey through the four foundational science strands of the Grade 3-5 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. This four-part cohort series is designed to deepen your understanding of grade-level science standards, enrich your vocabulary instruction, and build your confidence through engaging, hands-on lessons. Each session will focus on one science strand, with practical tools, collaborative conversations, and resources you can implement immediately in your classroom. Explore how the TEKS bring the properties of matter and physical changes to life in the classroom. Teachers will break down complex concepts into manageable, hands-on learning experiences that help students describe, measure, classify, compare and contrast matter. Expect high-energy labs, vocabulary strategies that stick, and ready-to-use lessons that make matter matter.

Designing learning that sticks—from launch to explanation. Students talk all the time—let’s make it meaningful. Learn how to teach productive discourse, structure student conversations, ask questions that spark higher-order thinking, and set classroom norms and scaffolds that support talk as a tool for learning. Note: Each session builds on the others, creating a complete picture of effective science teaching—but they are designed to stand alone, so you can attend any workshop independently.
