5. Teaching Students to Face Challenges by Thinking Strategically

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD

Audience: Educators

Dates: 6/3/2019

Location: LS3

Many students learn innately through experiences which connect concepts with meaning. Often times, struggling learners need to be taught how to be strategic in their learning so they can acquire, retain and apply information taught with confidence. Their perception can influence their belief system and become their reality thereby stunting their progress. Students' performance and self-concept benefits from identifying that they can manage their own perceptions, improve their academic, behavioral and social-emotional skills by learning to use visualization as a strategy to prepare for successful outcomes and pair both perception and visualization with positive self-talk. These skills are taught and supported by educators' ability to model and teach these skills as well as the effective use of para-verbal communication, active listening and behavior specific praise techniques of communication.

During this interactive and collaborative presentation, participants will learn the skills necessary to identify, use and teach these skills and provide the foundation of proactive communication allowing students the knowledge and opportunity to overcome challenging tasks and situations. As students use these skills, they will begin to believe in themselves and their ability to succeed. These skills can become life-long strategies that can be applied in college and throughout adulthood.
Participants will learn:
•To understand and demonstrate how perception relates to learning
•How to manage different perceptions in students
•How to apply a positive perception to difficult assignments/situations
•To develop nonverbal and verbal working memory skills
•How visualization improves learning

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD

Dates: 11/22/2019

Location: The Little Theatre

New

We have no choice: as educators, we all must act to counteract the alarming increase in mental health issues, which is bearing down primarily on our students and secondarily on the adults serving and surrounding them.

Dr. Daggett and his colleagues at the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE) have searched the nation for the most successful practices to address these difficult challenges. While we are still in the early stages of confronting this crisis, many schools have devised programs that are successfully folding mental health into learning.

Dr. Daggett will share the practices that "are" and "are not" working. Participants will learn from the mistakes of others and gain a toolkit of specific strategies and practices they can use at the classroom, building, and district levels to help our schools become places of well-being and health.

***********BIO************

Bill Daggett, Ed.D., Founder and Chairman of the ICLE, is recognized worldwide for his proven ability to move preK-12 education systems towards more rigorous and relevant skills and knowledge for all students. For 25 years, he has lead school reform efforts to effectively prepare students for their future; he challenges all of us to be more focused on our children's future. His advice and guidance are sought out by nearly every major education association in the country, hundreds of school districts, numerous political and business leaders, publishers, and others.

Dr. Daggett was a teacher, local administrator, and a director with the New York State Education Department.

He is the creator of the Rigor/Relevance Framework which has recently become the cornerstone of much of the nation's school reform efforts. He is also the author of numerous books about learning and education, textbooks, research reports, and journal articles.

Youth Mental Health First Aid USA (School) is a 6 hour public education program which introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, builds understanding of the importance of early intervention, and teaches individuals how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Mental Health First Aid uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to assess a mental health crisis; select interventions and provide initial help; and connect young people to professional, peer, social, and self-help care.

The course teaches participants the risk factors and warning signs of a variety of mental health challenges common among adolescents, including anxiety, depression, psychosis, eating disorders, AD/HD, disruptive behavior disorders, and substance use disorder. Participants do not learn to diagnose, nor how to provide any therapy or counseling - rather, participants learn to support a youth developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis by applying a core five-step action plan: ◆ Assess for risk of suicide or harm ◆ Listen nonjudgmentally ◆ Give reassurance and information ◆ Encourage appropriate professional help ◆ Encourage self-help and other support strategies

The 6-hour workshop is for school planning teams. Often several schools in a district or an area come together to host the training and each sends a planning team. What that planning team looks like varies greatly from school to school.

We provide a model that looks at 4 basic categories of preparedness/assets:
• Informed and skilled staff - training for faculty and ancillary staff to recognize warning signs and know what to do about it.
• Resilient students - Developmentally appropriate education programming to support protection and resilience.
• Tools and resources to identify students at risk for suicide, assess the level of risk, provide intervention appropriate to the level of risk.
• A planned response following a suicide of a school community member (student, staff or parent). And then two foundational supports:
• Policies, protocols and procedures
• Community/parent engagement and support.
This workshop is designed to help school personnel:
• Assess existing suicide prevention and response readiness
• Receive guidance in current best practice in school based suicide prevention
• Develop a customized implementation plan
• Access free and low cost resources

86. Finding and Supporting the Gifted & Talented Learner

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD

Audience: District Leaders, Superintendents, Building Leaders, Department Chairs, Social Workers, School Psychologists

Dates: 12/17/2019

There is a demographic subgroup that is often overlooked. It is accepted that a district strives to meet the needs of *all* learners. How, then, is your district supporting the needs of Gifted & Talented students?

Differentiation for Gifted & Talented students is challenging to design; it is more than simply assigning "extra work". Because of their academic success, these students educational needs are often overlooked or not met. Often these students are not intellectually challenged or stimulated; and extra-curricular clubs are not always the right answer.

Whether you are looking to re-vamp or create a Gifted & Talented program, or provide enrichment for all students, this workshop provides best instructional practices to motivate and energize the learning environment, not just for accelerated students, but for the entire learning community!

Activities include:
• Student-centered, interdisciplinary curriculum
• Brain break activities to achieve optimal cognitive performance
• Teamwork challenges which increase communication skills between learners of all levels
• Exposure to new potential passions
• Strategies to transform your classroom/school into a fun, engaging and challenging center for learning
