Function-based thinking is a Tier 1 support that can be used for all students, which requires teachers to informally gather data on student behavior, analyze the behavioral data and use the behavior pathway to determine the function or "why” of the behavior, and to match interventions to the function of the student's behavior. Professionals will leave with an understanding of how to observe, analyze, and intervene on challenging behaviors.

Workshop Description:

The issue of in and out-of-school suspensions of all students, including students with disabilities, who demonstrate escalated classroom behavior, has become controversial and divisive leaving many staff members at odds. This training package, designed for building level administrators and teachers, is intended to help participants understand that exclusionary practices have significant short and long-term negative effects on academic, social-emotional, health and wellness, and family outcomes of students and that there are alternative approaches to discipline that lead to improved student outcomes. Participants will ground themselves in a common understanding of suspension, removal, and discipline, as well as influences, impacts, policies and procedures that contribute to the on-going suspension crisis in schools today. Participants will learn and explore effective research-based strategies for responding to student behavior and appropriate alternatives to suspension, which have significantly fewer negative impacts on student or family outcomes.

Workshop Description:

Join us as we dive into our first session of the 3-part series "Exploring Explicit Instruction.” Explicit instruction helps us support and meaningfully engage ALL students. It has quite an impact on diverse groups of students across all grade levels, in general and special education classrooms who are learning both academic and non-academic concepts. For all students, including students with disabilities and English Learners, it provides an approach that integrates listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and can be used in pre teaching and reteaching content and skills. For students with disabilities, it is also an important component of Specially Designed Instruction.

We will spend time in the areas below (and more!):
- breaking down concepts and skills to logically sequence lessons and craft clear objectives
- providing students with necessary schema and background knowledge, on which to build new understandings
- planning for guided and supported practice through modeling, demonstrating, thinking aloud, active engagement, scaffolding, and fading supports
- being responsive to student needs through formative assessment and providing informative and actionable feedback
- building independence and generalization within lessons and through periodic review, practice, and application

This training package, designed for building level administrators and teachers, is intended to help participants understand that exclusionary practices have significant short and long-term negative effects on academic, social-emotional, health and wellness, and family outcomes of students and that there are alternative approaches to discipline that lead to improved student outcomes. Participants will ground themselves in a common understanding of suspension, removal, and discipline, as well as influences, impacts, policies and procedures that contribute to the on-going suspension crisis in schools today. Participants will learn and explore effective research-based strategies for responding to student behavior and appropriate alternatives to suspension, which have significantly fewer negative impacts on student or family outcomes.
