SUMMARY:Integrating Knowledge Building into ELA for Interdisciplinary Teaching *ON SITE* Workshop presented by The Living Literacy Network - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge building is essential for strong reading comprehension; it provides the foundation students need to understand\, analyze\, and engage with texts deeply. When readers bring background knowledge to texts\, they can make connections\, infer meaning\, and grasp complex ideas more easily. In this workshop\, teachers will learn how taking a knowledge-rich approach to reading helps students develop vocabulary\, recognize themes\, and think critically about what they read. Teachers will learn how to build rich and complex\, multi-media text sets that support conceptual knowledge and transfer that they can integrate into existing curriculum and units as well as build bridges between content area instruction and literacy instruction. Audience: K-12 Educators Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1-1/2 Consortium seats.If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S43PKF8BLyq0B28NfjCaKfYsfsOWHLEb/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5271110

SUMMARY:Taking the Challenge out of Conversations: 4 Steps to Communicating Without Judgment or Blame VIRTUAL Workshop presented by Joan Fretz - 9-12pm
DESCRIPTION:Whether we’re interacting with colleagues\, supervisors\, students\, caregivers\, or our own family members\, school administrators and staff often find themselves in a challenging conversation. When people feel judged\, we may lose the opportunity to resolve the issue at the lowest level and worse\, damage our relationship with them. While you are in charge of the words you choose and how they are delivered\, it is always the receiver who gives the meaning to your message. In this workshop\, we will explore ways to listen to others without judgment or blame and then express our own feelings and needs. The skill involves linking our feelings to our needs\, instead of blaming someone else for causing them\, and helping others to do the same. Based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg (Nonviolent Communication) and Oren Sofer (Mindful Communication)\, this simple process provides a consistent way for all staff to develop respectful and trusting relationships. Developing safe and healthy schools begins with how we message each other. Strategies for using this approach will be practiced and discussed. Suggestions for encouraging buy-in from all staff will be included. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1/2 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ad5nW40Dl4XuWiFQdqn9WK9vZY12Mv6K/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5135850

SUMMARY:Student Resilience: 9 Resiliency Factors Your School Can Influence VIRTUAL Workshop presented by Joan Fretz - 9-12pm
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a fascinating exploration of 9 Resiliency Factors that schools can influence\, through the teachings of Dr. Michael Ungar\, Director and Founder of the Resiliency Research Centre in Canada. Learn how resiliency research helps to shift our focus from psychopathology\, disorder and trauma to the promotive and protective factors that influence academic and developmental outcomes when a child experiences unusual amounts of stress. Learn how to examine your school’s mental health initiatives through Ungar’s Resiliency Lens. In educational settings\, there has been an unfair emphasis on a student’s individual responsibility to change\, and a lack of attention to the many social and institutional factors that make a student’s resilience possible.

SUMMARY:Preventing the Meltdown Understanding Environmental Factors Affecting Student Behavior *IN PERSON* presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:A common mistake made by schools is to assume that problematic student behaviors exist primarily within in the child and underestimate the degree to which external environmental factors impact student academic and behavioral performance. The fields of education and human behavior have long recognized the complex nature of student behavior and its relationship to the child’s learning environment Understanding this relationship and the presence of these factors helps educators and clinicians become more effective in their analysis and development of strategies to respond to behaviors which negatively impact student success. By examining the environment\, staff can use this knowledge to manipulate and alter the conditions which serve as triggers to the challenging behaviors thereby improving the learning environment for struggling learners and improving a positive classroom environment for all.

SUMMARY:One Size Does Not Fit All: Curricular and Instructional Adjustments to Address Behavior *IN PERSON* presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Research has shown that curricular and instructional adjustments are important components of positive behavior supports that lead to the reduction of problem behavior and promotion of student success. When thinking about changing student behavior\, focus should be placed on how adults are teaching and supporting the student both as part of a group and as an individual. Multiple opportunities to access\, engage and respond to academic tasks help to decrease feelings of frustration\, increase access to content and prompt academic engagement while creating a positive learning environment. Strategies presented will highlight curricular adaptations as to WHAT is taught\, instructional adaptations as to HOW content is taught and how learning is demonstrated and ecological adaptions which relate to where\, when and with whom instruction and learning takes place. Strategies presented will also form the basis for academic and behavioral accommodations and modifications as well as specially designed instruction as part of a well developed IEP.

SUMMARY:I Got This: Developing Supports and Interventions for Problematic Classroom Behavior **IN PERSON** presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Promoting healthy and safe learning environments where students can receive the instruction and other supports they need to learn and achieve at high levels is one of the primary responsibilities of each school. Research has suggested that teachers and other school personnel often have received inadequate training in the understanding and management of problematic student behavior. This circumstance has often made both teachers and clinicians alike feel helpless in the development of successful responses to these behaviors. It is therefore important for educators to take advantage of the use of researched based behavioral science approaches. Figuring out the reasons behind a behavior is critical for the development of an appropriate response or intervention. By understanding that behavior is a form of student communication that is purposeful\, interactive\, predictable\, and learned through the visual representation of a behavior chain or pathway\, teachers and clinicians can become better equipped with the skills necessary to manage behavior effectively and efficiently. In this session\, participants will learn how to independently develop behavior interventions through a process that determines why a student engages in behaviors that impede learning and that are related to the classroom environment. Thinking about the circumstances and factors surrounding a behavior in a systematic manner will help teachers set up and manage their classrooms in a proactive and positive way. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFor full description please view Flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s-HI2cCiWqKdHAUwUqnwFbcj4it0Awn6/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5133525
