All students should have access to complex problems and rigorous tasks that stimulate their motivation and engagement. Choice Boards are a way of organizing resources and learning tasks for students as well as offers students the opportunity to go beyond the curriculum. With choice board learning, students must actively participate to work towards self-directed learning. Teachers intentionally design choice boards to provide a more play-like approach that offers flexibility in terms of how students share their learning outcomes through multi-modalities. Participants will uncover the benefits, standards-based design, differentiation techniques, and explore activities that cater to every learning style, such as visual, auditory, read-write, and kinesthetic.

This online workshop is intended to provide an overview of Dyslexia.

Dyslexia, the most recognized of reading problems, is a neurological disorder that is often characterized by difficulties in recognizing and decoding words, leading to lower comprehension and fluency. Although there is no exact count, it is estimated that one in ten people may be afflicted with some form of dyslexia.

The state of New Jersey passed legislation that recognizes dyslexia in state statute and regulation, making it a requirement for districts to deal with this disability. A definition of dyslexia must now be specifically written into special education code and a yearly 2-hour professional development requirement for dyslexia is now mandated for all teachers in grades pre-K through grade 3, special education, reading and ESL teachers, reading specialists, learning disabilities teacher consultants, and speech-language specialists.

This two-hour webinar will provide participating administrators, pre-K to 3 educators, Special Education supervisors, and Child Study Team members with detailed information about this legislation, citing the specificity and requisites that impact the governance and operation of all school districts in New Jersey. The impact that the law will have on special education programs, as well as the specific components that must be included in the required training, will be reviewed during the online course.

The Science of Reading is a vast, interdisciplinary body of scientifically-based research about reading and issues related to reading and writing. This research has been conducted over the last five decades across the world and is derived from thousands of studies conducted in multiple languages. The science of reading has culminated in a preponderance of evidence to inform how proficient reading and writing develop; why some have difficulty; and how we can most effectively assess and teach and, therefore, improve student outcomes through prevention of and intervention for reading difficulties. This session will provide participants with strategies to shift practices to those that align with the research in order to improve student outcomes.

For educators of middle and high school students, there's no denying the importance of reading for student success. As a result, it's only right to make sure that education programs are based on the most up-to-date science of reading principles. What works for an elementary student will not necessarily work for those slightly older - and specific adjustments may be needed. This workshop aims to examine the "do's and don'ts" when teaching reading to students in grades 4-12 within the context of scientific research by reviewing positive behaviors (what you should do).

This intermediate-level course provides an evidence-based overview of best practices for managing school-age children who stutter and clutter. Stuttering is a multidimensional, multifactorial communication disorder that has long eluded complete scientific understanding. Its complex nature often challenges both clinicians and children in defining, measuring, diagnosing, and fully conceptualizing the disorder. This session will address practical challenges by reviewing current research and outlining effective assessment practices, evidence-based therapy techniques, and strategies for supporting the attitudes and emotions that influence communication. Participants will gain tools to enhance clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for children.

Learning Outcomes
1. Describe the multidimensional nature of stuttering, including its affective, cognitive, and behavioral components.
2. Identify evidence-based tools and procedures for collecting quantitative data relevant to evaluating a school-age child's stuttering.
3. Identify evidence-based tools and procedures for gathering qualitative information that captures the child's experiences, communication impact, and contextual factors.
4. Develop functional outcomes and write meaningful, contextually relevant goals for children who stutter.
5. Describe indirect therapeutic strategies that support a child's communication environment and overall fluency.
6. Describe direct therapy techniques used to address the core features of stuttering and promote effective communication skills.
7. Explain the importance of addressing attitudes and emotions in a therapy program for students who stutter.
8. Describe intervention strategies for addressing the attitudes and emotions of students in a speech therapy program.

Please note: This is an in-person workshop.

There are many tasks to accomplish at the end of the school year that will ensure a smooth transition into the next school year with regard to Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS). I&RS guidance requires schools and districts to assess the team's procedures, share the results, and apply improvements in the upcoming school year. Professional learning needs for the I&RS team or professional staff should be identified and planned. School leaders and I&RS team members should use the results of their assessment to create recommendations for school-wide planning purposes. This session will focus on how to conduct the end-of-year assessment of I&RS procedures and plan for the upcoming school year. Connections to other building-based teams will be shared as well as how to best collaborate with other teams in order to increase positive outcomes from I&RS. In addition, Title funds will be identified that can be used to support I&RS functions. Scheduling options for I&RS meetings will be shared as well.
