Driving Student Success Dashboard Cohort is designed for our partner districts using EduTech's Dashboard Service and will consist of four modules, beginning in August. It is ideally timed with the restart of accountability, as one underlying theme with accountability is that there is always room for improvement. Each session will provide professional learning and scenarios to help participants to dig deeper into dashboard data and leverage it to inform decision making and uncover areas for improvement. There will also be an opportunity to collaborate with nearby partner districts. The first session will be held in person. At that time, the group will decide if they wish to combine both GV & W-FL BOCES together as a single cohort virtually or as separate cohorts in person. Sessions will run from 8:30-11:30. Please note that if the GV & W-FL groups combine, the sessions will be held on the GV dates (10/25/23, 12/13/23, and 2/7/24)

Dates: 10/1/2023 to 11/30/2023

Click this link to create your account with PRC-Satillo and complete the course Putting Aided Language into Practice

Communication is a two-way process. As such, the successful implementation of an AAC device depends as much on the skills of the person using AAC as it does on those of the communication partners. This session will provide an overview of the characteristics, roles, and responsibilities of communication partners working with people who use AAC, with a focus on aided language input. Aided language input is a strategy in which the communication partner uses AAC to teach AAC. Shared reading will be discussed as a vehicle for learning to use aided language input to support device implementation and facilitate language learning. Participants will have the opportunity to put it to practice through a hands-on activity.

Learner Outcomes:

• Participants will be able to define aided language input.

• Participants will describe the characteristics, roles, and responsibilities of communication partners.

• Participants will identify how to implement AAC in the context of shared reading.

Program: Professional Development

Audience: This course is designed for School Personnel

Dates: 1/9/2024 to 1/18/2024

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

Program: Professional Development

Audience: This course is designed for School Personnel

Dates: 3/11/2024 to 3/20/2024

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

92. Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools

Program: Professional Development

Audience: This course is designed for School Personnel

Dates: 5/6/2024 to 5/15/2024

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
