Ever wonder how to make vocabulary instruction more intentional and powerful? Join us in this deep dive for all educators grades 4-12 in all content areas as we explore the way we discover word origins as well as how we can make paths in our brains to decode multi-syllable words. By analyzing words, we know that our understanding will expand. After we deepen our own knowledge of words, we will plan how this can be applied in a classroom setting. Practical and easy-to-implement ideas will be shared and considered. Based on research, we know that through this deep learning of vocabulary, our ability to understand and apply the true meaning of words will be realized.

Program: RPDC - Kansas City

Audience: District Administrators, School Administrators, Counselors, School Psychs, Teachers, Special Educators

Dates: 8/5/2022

According to the FBI investigative report The School Shooter: A Threat Assessment Perspective, school shooters 1) engaged in some behavior prior to the tragedy that caused others to be concerned, 2) appeared to be detached from other students, teachers, and school activities and 3) had the perception of punitive discipline being inequitably applied (O'Toole, 2000). Part of the solution to this national crisis are evidence-based multi-tiered systems of support that include universal screening, a strong tier one that builds a positive school culture, and alternatives to suspension and other traditional punitive discipline practices. This workshop will identify crucial concepts and core components of such a system to be used in collaboration with, rather than instead of, other social, emotional and behavioral support programs and describe how function-based thinking based on the science of behavior empowers all professionals that work in schools to provide social, emotional, behavioral and mental health services more effectively by considering why challenges in these areas occur. Freely accessible and practitioner friendly resources will be shared.

Deadline for this session is July 29, 2022.
