Supporting educators in establishing an Indiana Educator License or adding STEM to their existing license for
NO COST
The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) is partnering with the Educational Service Centers (ESCs) of Indiana to provide support for both currently licensed teachers in non-STEM areas, and prospective teachers who are not licensed and hold a bachelor’s degree, to become licensed to teach a STEM subject. The IDOE has identified eligible STEM content areas as life science, chemistry, earth/space science, physics, physical science, computer science, technology education, and mathematics.

Orton-Gillingham (OG) Course
5 Day Workshop
Presenter: Reading Clinic of Central Indiana
This Orton-Gillingham (OG) course is designed to meet the needs of classroom teachers and instructional support staff to provide structured literacy instruction aligned to the science of reading. The primary focus of the training is to
support participants to effectively deliver OG in a whole-class setting as a Tier 1 preventative approach in primary-level classrooms. Utilizing this whole-group model as a preventative measure effectively reduces the number of students
identified as at-risk readers, reducing the strain on staff and schedules to provide Tier 2 and 3 interventions.
To meet the needs older students, and those students requiring Tier 2 and 3 interventions, course content on diagnostic assessments and prescriptive lessons is included. Participants will learn how to use a problem-solving approach to identify specific skill deficits and customize instruction to support small-group interventions
The structure of the course is intentionally designed so that classroom teachers and support staff have the opportunity to see the full range of grade-level skills in order to effectively identify areas of instructional need to better understand
how to provide customized interventions.
Participants will also have access to daily OG lesson plans for Tier 1 instruction and for customization for Tier 2 and 3 interventions at no additional charge, upon the successful completion of training.
*Any participant that completes the full five-day training will meet the IDOE requirements as Reading Specialists. They will receive a certificate stating they have successfully met those requirements.*

Pedagogical Approach: The objective regarding the Designing for Impact: Next Level Computer Science
K-12 teachers will develop computational thinking skills vital for success across all disciplines, such as using computational tools to analyze and study data and working with large data sets to analyze, visualize, and draw conclusions from trends. The workshops will engage K-12 teachers in the creative aspects of the field by allowing them to develop computational artifacts based on their curriculum, subject, and grade-level.
Because of the intensive boot camp-type program, participating
K-12 teachers will undergo a rigorous introductory computer science
course that will progress in stages to reach a capstone-level project
that is a multifaceted body of work which would serve as a
culminating and intellectual experience for participants.

The Current PSAT & SAT Assessments vs the new Digital PSAT & SAT Assessment
Presenter: Bill Reed
Do you know the differences between the current PSAT & SAT Assessments and the New Digital PSAT & SAT Assessments? Do you need to raise your PSAT and SAT scores for school accountability? Are your non-college bound students completely unmotivated to take the PSAT and SAT? Does your school think that the PSAT and SAT are issues for the English and math departments only?
Join us to learn about the changes coming in 2023-2024 school year to the New Digital PSAT and SAT Assessments. Learn how getting all teachers in all subjects working together can help your students perform their best on the New Digital PSAT and SAT. Find out how scores can be used by everyone, including students NOT going to a 4-year college, which can help motivate the unmotivated students to score their best!
You will receive copy-ready information, materials, and resources that you can disseminate to parents to help their children better understand and prepare for the New Digital PSAT and SAT. We will delve into the types of questions used on the New Digital PSAT and SAT as well as the best practices teachers of all subjects can use to increase student performance. Additionally, you will receive valuable classroom resources, activities, and ideas for helping students achieve their best scores.

Building a Healthy and High Performing School Culture
Two Day Workshop
Presented by Kevin Dill
Culture is powerful. From consistently achieving performance outcomes to recruiting top talent in a competitive labor market, healthy and thriving cultures have the power of getting positive results. In an era when teacher and staff dissatisfaction is real and turnover rates are higher, putting your culture first is not just a good idea, it’s critical. But don’t assume that building and maintaining a healthy culture is easy or simplistic. It’s one of the most significant and complex challenges that school leaders face. We all want healthy and high performing work cultures, but how do we get there? Is there a recipe for success? Are there specific steps that leaders take to build thriving cultures? Can culture be measured and managed?
In this two-part series, we’ll explore the science behind building and maintaining a healthy and thriving school culture and use these insights to improve your own school culture.
