Program: Model Schools

Dates: 5/1/2024 to 5/24/2024

This course will explore shifting perspectives on poverty to one of deficit to one of asset based and how this shift in mindset will provide a new way to better reach and support students. Awareness, strategies and outreach opportunities educators can put into practice will be provided, assessed and ultimately implemented by those participating in this course.

Program: Professional Development Program

Audience: Grades 3-12 Teachers of ELA, ENL, and Special Education

Dates: 5/1/2024

Yes, spelling does count. Proper spelling conveys the "look of literacy” while poor spelling diminishes the writer's credibility and causes the reader to pay attention to mistakes rather than meaning. Many teachers in the intermediate and secondary grades are at a loss as to how to incorporate and individualize effective spelling instruction. Come and learn a variety of engaging ways to use mini-lessons, micro-lessons, etymology, games and puzzles, metacognition, classroom visuals, mnemonic devices, word sorts, morphology charting, air writing, and-yes, spelling rules to make students more confident and competent writers and readers. These strategies are particularly applicable for our Spanish speakers, as Spanish spelling, unlike English spelling, closely matches pronunciation.

Program: Professional Development Program

Audience: K-12 Educators; Building Administrators; Nurses; Social Workers; Counseling Staff

Dates: 5/13/2024

ADHD used to be thought of as the most common behavioral disorder affecting school-aged children. Today, ADHD is recognized as a genetically based difference in the brain's frontal lobes with highly predictable behavioral consequences. While the focus of ADHD intervention has historically focused on the negative aspects of these predictable behaviors, students with ADHD possess a host of positive, adaptive, and extraordinary capacities. Equipped with this new knowledge about the nature of ADHD, this learning experience explores how the ADHD brain works differently from non-ADHD brains and provides multiple practical strategies for enhancing ADHD strengths and effectively meeting ADHD-inspired needs for learning and behavior. Participants learn how to become "the surrogate frontal lobes” for their ADHD students and how to change their view of ADHD from a purely behavioral disorder to a unique brain construct that can be accommodated with highly successful outcomes.
