Program: Positive Behavior Supports

Audience: PreK - 2 educators, Support Staff and administrators

Dates: 1/26/2026

Do you have students who struggle with organization, time management, task initiation, or emotional regulation? These challenges often point to underdeveloped Executive Functioning (EF) skills-the core mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks successfully. This engaging and practical training workshop is designed to equip K-12 educators with a comprehensive understanding of executive functions and immediately applicable, evidence-based strategies to foster these critical skills in all students.

What You Will Learn:

Understand the Science: Gain a clear definition of executive function and its core components (e.g., working memory, planning, self-control, cognitive flexibility) and how they impact student learning and behavior in the classroom.

Identify the Challenges: Learn to recognize classroom behaviors-from disorganization to emotional outbursts-as manifestations of underlying EF difficulties.

Practical Classroom Strategies: Walk away with ready-to-use techniques, routines, and tools to explicitly teach and scaffold key EF skills, including:
-Time Management and Prioritization
-Organizational Systems (materials and ideas)
-Task Initiation and Goal Setting
-Self-Monitoring and Metacognitive Skills
-Emotional Regulation and Impulse Control
-Create Supportive Environments: Discover how to structure your classroom and instruction to minimize EF demands and provide the necessary supports for students to move from dependence to independence.
-Differentiate and Intervene: Explore strategies for embedding EF support into daily lessons and routines, as well as tiered interventions for students needing more intensive support.

Empower your students to become more independent, resilient, and successful learners by intentionally cultivating the essential executive function skills needed for academic achievement and lifelong success.

Function-Based thinking can support school staff in determining appropriate intervention measures that will help eliminate unwanted behaviors, which may lead to fewer suspensions and be associated with an increase in academic engagement and performance.

Participants will be able to:
describe challenging behaviors
understand the behavior pathway and use it to determine the function of behaviors
understand the function-based thinking process to prevent or extinguish unwanted behaviors by selecting intervention measures that meet the function of the

Audience: Administrators, Literacy Specialists; Special Education Teachers; General Education Teachers; School Psychologists

Dates: 4/21/2026

The Reviewing Your Literacy Curriculum: Evaluating Alignment with the Science of Reading training was developed to provide participants with essential information necessary for preparing for and conducting a review of their district's current literacy curriculum. A school's core literacy curriculum serves as a critical foundation for all levels of reading instruction including for those students receiving supplemental support, intervention, or special education services. It is equally important for literacy curriculum to reflect the evidence-based content and instructional methods found in reading science as well as be free of practices that scientific research has shown to be ineffective or detrimental to learning. Participants will examine the purpose of regularly evaluating their literacy curriculum, review the key elements of the Science of Reading, and learn how to develop a curriculum review team. The training will also teach participants how to use the Reading League's Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines and Reviewer Workbook to evaluate their current curriculum for instructional gaps that should be corrected to provide students with highly effective and evidence-based literacy instruction. Finally, the training will address how participants can plan to address instructional gaps through implementing necessary initiatives and practices.
