Description: This series explores the shifts in practice from content area reading (finding the similarities in how we read) to disciplinary literacy (noting what is different in how we read). Stemming from the work of Tim Shanahan, this three-session series articulates how reading in each discipline is unique, advocating the need for teachers to be explicit and precise in their pedagogical approaches. Session one is an overall of the shifts in practice. Session two focuses specifically on reading in the disciplines. Session three looks at writing in the disciplines.

Target Audience: School Counselors,School Psychologists,School Social Workers, and Administrators

Description: Participants will be trained in the Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (formerly known as VSTAG: The Virginia Student Threat Assessment Guidelines). This is an evidence-based model for K-12 schools developed by Dr. Dewey Cornell at the University of Virginia in 2001. In this model, school staff members are encouraged to adopt a flexible, problem-solving approach, as distinguished form a more punitive, zero tolerance approach to student misbehavior. The model is intended to generate broader changes in the nature of staff-student interactions around disciplinary matters and to encourage a more positive school climate in which students feel treated with fairness and respect. This model follows a five-step decision-tree that includes triage, determination if a threat is transient or substantive, and a mental health assessment and safety evaluation that includes law enforcement if needed. The culmination of the threat assessment is the development of a safety plan that is designed to address the problem or conflict underlying the threat and prevent the act of violence from taking place.
