Program: Curriculum and Instruction: Regional PD

PP Services Supporting Diverse Learners

One out of four children in a school classroom have experienced trauma and the likelihood of children in a special education classroom who have experienced trauma may be as high as 80% of all classified students in a district.

In addition, studies have shown that children who experience early childhood trauma have disorganized or disrupted attachment. Other students may respond to their unstable affect regulation with internalizing behaviors such as withdrawal, shutting down, or zoning out.

• Realize the impact of trauma on a child’s neurobiology and the influence of this atypical neuro-biological development on learning and social/emotional growth.

• Recognize learning challenges and behaviors that are the result of trauma and develop plans for addressing them in a trauma-sensitive way through mindfulness practices, resiliency development and executive function support.

• Learn about their own exposure to trauma and ACE score and identify their triggers.

• Develop classroom strategies to respond in a trauma-informed way and to avoid re-traumatization.

88. The Legal Ramifications Surrounding Social Media for Students and Staff

Program: Curriculum and Instruction: Regional PD

Audience: school administrators

Dates: 4/24/2019

Location: LS2

The proliferation of electronic media in schools, both as a teaching tool as well as a means of communication, has been a blessing as well as a curse. In addition to all of its well established positive aspects, unfortunately, it has also blurred the lines of acceptable communication between students, between students and their teachers, and between students and the anonymous populace who frequent “cyberspace”. Wireless access and schools who encourage students to “bring their own devices” has even further complicated the issue as now questions of privacy have surfaced.

This workshop, designed for school administrators, will introduce participants to the legal issues surrounding social media. It will focus on the liability school districts may face for inadequate regulation, as well as the Constitutional limits school districts may face as they create social media policies.
The workshop will conclude with an opportunity for administrators to begin the process of drafting a legally defensible social media policy.
