How do we guide students in becoming engaged in their learning as we teach for understanding? Math talks and classroom discussion can support both students' ability to reason mathematically and their ability to communicate their reasoning. Join us to see how discourse in mathematics can become your number one formative assessment tool in the classroom and at the same time help enhance language development and social skills.Participants will receive the book "Making Number Talks Matter" by Cathy Humphreys & Ruth Parker.

Results in educational evaluation reports are underutilized for designing instructional programs and interventions for the students we serve. This workshop will explore what we can learn from the valuable information provided in the assessments and observations we use to determine eligibility. We will discuss instructional implications and learning profiles by reviewing results from common assessments used in educational evaluations. Information will be shared that applies across all ages, grade levels, and developmental stages. Example evaluation results will be provided for study, but participants are encouraged to bring copies or access to their own evaluations for study and application. Participants will learn an easy to use structure for analyzing evaluation reports to gather the most meaning. In order to extend the learning from this workshop, participants are encouraged to attend this workshop in conjunction with the workshop Beyond the Numbers: Using Evaluation Data to Develop IEPS, Specially Designed Instruction and Interventions held on October 30, 2018.

This workshop is presented by Connie L.Hebert. Connie L. Hebert, M.S. Ed. is an experienced educator and consultant of more than 25 years. Connie began her career as a special education teacher. She transitioned from the classroom to work as a classroom based consultant in Central Pennsylvania, then a systems level consultant in Southeast Missouri. In 2011 Connie became co-author of Response to Intervention (RtI) and Continuous School Improvement (CSI): How to Design, Implement, Monitor, and Evaluate a Schoolwide Prevention System with Dr. Bernhardt and their second edition was published in 2017.Connie assisted with the development of the Southeast Missouri State University Autism Center for Diagnosis and Treatment and served as the founding director until 2014 when she returned to public schools. Connie now serves the Jackson R2 School District in southeast Missouri as an Intervention Consultant in K-12 general & special education classrooms.

Participants will learn how to use data from evaluation reports to design and develop practical intervention and instructional strategies for use in the classroom with specific resources for teachers. In addition, participants, will review ways to incorporate this valuable information into appropriate components of the IEP, including writing measurable goals and objectives. We will conclude with resources for simple but effective data collection methods. While not required, it is highly encouraged that participants attend Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Results of Educational Evaluation Reports workshop on October 29, 2018 as it will provide participants with an understanding of the most common types of data included in educational evaluation reports.

Session 2 and 3 - Teams work toward the implementation of Social Skills Interventions Groups (SSIG), a research-based intervention. Key aspects of the training include identification of appropriate candidates for a social skills intervention, assessment of skill deficits, curriculum and program design, how to effectively teach a social skills lesson, and techniques for monitoring student progress during the intervention. In addition, several strategies for promoting generalization and maintenance will be provided.

This transition academy will prepare all educators to assist students in planning for post-secondary success. Topics will include transition assessment, best practices in planning for transition and the essentials of self-determination.

By invitation only. This training is intended for MO SW-PBS schools that have already completed the first year of Tier 3 training. The purpose of these sessions is to assist school teams that are already experienced in FBA-BIP to further develop a team-based approach to intensive, individualized behavior support. Focus will be on-going guided practice with the FBA-BIP process and a deeper understanding of using effective strategies when developing the behavior plan. Teams will have the opportunity to participate in case-study examples, and learn more about data collection tools. In depth study of data collection and metric selection, exploration of research, managing and organizing student file information, and analyzing systems and practices for data management and decision making. Additional topics for these trainings will include monitoring fidelity of implementation, determining the extent to which stakeholders value interventions currently in place using social validity data, working to engage and support families of students receiving Tier 3 interventions, evaluating outcomes, and impact of intervention on student achievement. Tier 3 teams will also have the opportunity to share information, resources, practices, and ideas with other teams.

Recommended participants: Tier 3 core team, including building administrator.
