Asynchronous BUZZ course for TAs and Aides who have taken the level 1 TCIS certification Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS) is a trauma-informed crisis prevention and management system. The TCIS system helps staff create a learning environment that decreases risk factors while increasing protective factors so both students and staff can feel safe. TCIS provides staff an understanding of trauma sensitive practices and skills (co-regulation) to help students learn how to regulate and manage their own emotions. These newly learned skills encourage a greater willingness and capacity for our students to learn.TCIS helps participants and schools to:
◉ Create a trauma-sensitive environment where students and adults are safe and feel safe within their roles as a staff member
◉ Pro-actively prevent and/or deescalate potential crisis situations with the students they work with
◉ Manage a crisis situation in a therapeutic manner, and, if necessary, intervene physically in a manner that reduces the risk of harm to students and staff
◉ Process the crisis event with students and each other to help improve their coping strategies to reduce future risk

Note: In registering for this workshop, you are committing to attending 2 days of training. 

Intended Audience: special education teachers, general education teachers, and other educational professionals in need of training on the basic essentials of SDI for students with disabilities

First: Four Factors that Accelerate Math Learning

What does current research tell us about what actually moves the needle for students? Join James Burnett as he details 4 factors from Visible Learning that truly accelerate student learning. He dives deep into activating prior knowledge, the Piagetian approach, spaced learning, and classroom discourse. You will walk away from this session with concrete best practices to support achievement.

Then: Building Mathematical Fluency with Understanding

This session demonstrates ORIGO's unique approach to developing fact fluency through five specific stages - prepare, introduce, reinforce, practice and extend. The stages feature powerful visual models and engaging activities which build connected strategies from basic facts to multi-digit whole numbers, decimals and fractions. Participants will play a variety of games and walk away with center activities for fluency. Attendees will be entered into a raffle for their very own Book and Box of Fact Strategies.
