    Our Survivor program for beginning teachers is aligned with professional development/growth plans focused on teaching standards and indicators as priorities for the first two years of teaching and provides on-going support during the year of BTAP.

    South Central RPDC - Survivor Series creates an opportunity for growth with other beginning teachers.

    Topics will include:
  • Classroom Environment
  • Student Engagement and Motivation
  • Professional Communication
  • Education-Related Law

    This year, we are excited to add a mentor component to our well-designed beginning teacher training. Mentors may join their mentee at any Survivor session for $20. Mentors must attend a one-day Mentor Training on September 27, 2019, as a required pre-requisite to attending Survivor sessions. Registration for Mentor Training can be found here: Mentor Training.

    Are your elementary and secondary students struggling to read fluently? When they encounter words they don't know, do they just guess or skip them? Do they read slowly or inaccurately? Are your older students unable to pass standardized tests? These are obvious symptoms of decoding deficits.

    The evidence is clear. An overwhelming number of peer reviewed documents have linked strong decoding to fluent and accurate reading. Too many students are failing to acquire the skills they need to become efficient and effective readers.

    The Really Great Reading program is presenting a workshop where participants will learn to quickly and accurately identify, group and teach your students that struggle to read. Successful reading intervention begins with appropriately diagnosing and grouping students. Learn how to assess and group your students in just one step. We will teach you how our complimentary "Live Assess"� will pinpoint the types of words a student is misreading, identify specific areas of confusion, total the types of errors, record the results, and group your students according to their decoding strengths and weaknesses. It's never been easier to diagnose and group your students.

    Participants will leave with immediate strategies to help elementary and secondary struggling readers practice what good readers do naturally, which is pay attention to every word, read with a high rate of accuracy, and use strategies for attacking unfamiliar, complex content area and multi-syllable words.

    Join us for this powerful, practical, fact-filled, activity-driven, hands-on workshop and learn to diagnose, group, and teach students with weaknesses in their foundational reading skills.

    Program: Project ACCESS

    Location: Henry Elementary School (Clinton, MO)

    Audience: Any educator or school staff member working with students with autism, parents and administrators.

    Dates: 3/31/2020

    Previously, traditional methods of dealing with problem behavior focused on consequences (especially punishment) and ignored underlying reasons for behavior. They were generally inappropriate, difficult to implement in classrooms, and highly ineffective. Functional Behavioral Assessment is a process used to gather details about the events that predict and maintain a student's problem behavior. The purpose of the FBA is to provide information that will be used to design effective positive behavior support plans. In order to support a student who is engaging in problem behaviors in your classroom, it is important to consider the reasons why a student may be engaging in problem behavior.

    This workshop will:

    • Identify the steps of the process of Functional Behavior Assessment;
    • Describe and select strategies that may be used to prevent challenging behavior;
    • Identify replacement skills for challenging behavior;
    • Identify ways to respond to challenging behavior through development of a Behavior Improvement Plan.

    Registration will be at 8:00 a.m., with training taking place from 8:30a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please make checks payable to Project ACCESS/Missouri State University, 901 South National Avenue, Springfield, MO 65897 (fax: 417-836-6393) 866-481-3841
