As educational policies and regulations continue to evolve, it's imperative for school librarians and library staff to be well-versed in the latest legislative changes that affect their collection development strategies. This session will provide an in-depth exploration of recent and upcoming legislation that directly influences the acquisition, selection, and availability of books in school libraries. One of the key areas we will address is the intersection of these legislative changes with the larger trends in library collection development.

IDEA 2004 requires that students receiving special education services have an individual education program (IEP) targeting their needs. When creating high quality IEPs the ARD committee must review the student’s data, create a PLAAFP, and based on the student’s needs, create the specially designed instruction that addresses the identified areas of need. Participants will understand the importance of writing a student-focused PLAAFP statement by reviewing IDEAs definition of the 13 disability categories, identifying characteristics unique to each disability, and how they affect a child’s education and impact the learning process.

The RBIS are a set of research-based practices that highlight misconceptions that are most common in the field. They cover topics that sometimes require conceptual or philosophical changes to how we approach instruction and form a set of practices that are supported by research and should be present in classrooms, regardless of instructional materials. These strategies are based in the science of how students best learn math and reading in K-12 classrooms. The RBIS also demonstrate why High Quality Instructional Materials are important and what is required to implement those materials well.

YMHFA is a skills-based training that teaches school staff and teachers how to identify, understand, and respond to an adolescent (ages 12-18) who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. This training gives adults who work with youth the skills they need to reach out, provide initial support, and help connect them to the appropriate care. This training includes required pre-work that must be completed prior to attending the live virtual session. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions on how to access the pre-work course. After completing the 2-hour, self-paced online course, learners will participate in a 4.5-hour to 5.5-hour, instructor-led training via videoconference. Participants must attend 90% of the virtual class with 70% participation, complete a post-test and evaluation to receive their certificate. Certificates are valid for 3 years.

One of the most critical factors in how well a child develops communication skills or alternative communication skills depends on the quality, presentation, and consistency of their communication partners. If the student is not acquiring communication skills we need to look at how we are presenting the communication system and adjust to the student's needs. This session will focus on the use of systems of communication that are composed of core vocabulary and foundational academic vocabulary for use by the teacher as a low-tech, augmentative alternative communication (AAC) tool to promote communication with nonverbal and emerging communicators in all academic settings. A make-and-take session in the afternoon will give participants a chance to create communication systems that can be implemented in the classroom quickly and easily. NOTE: This training is intended to build the capacity of district/charter school teachers and staff who work with students with complex needs. All participants must have an email address associated with a Region One district or charter school. All participants will be automatically placed on the waitlist pending verification that they meet one of the intended audience criteria.
