Building Effective Leaders (Series of 7)
VIRTUAL
 
Presenter:  Kevin Dill
 

Leadership is a complex formative and developmental process - replete with periods of success and inevitable stumbles. Current and emerging leaders want ideas and actions that will help them bridge the gap of stepping into positions of challenge and responsibility to becoming confident and respected difference-makers. Within leadership - certain challenges, needed skills, and even pitfalls are predictable, allowing us to study how effective leaders approach situations to create influence and impact. The ideas and actions explored within this seven-part series are drawn from exciting research of leadership development, empirical investigation, and most powerfully - the insights from the study of exemplary leaders. The points of view that are presented have evolved from working with and coaching hundreds of leaders - capturing the reality of critical leadership skills needed to navigate through situations and insights gained from experiences of success and failures.

Presenter: Tiffany Creager

The benefits of practicing mindfulness are far reaching. Research suggests that students experience stress reduction, cognitive oucomes, strengthened relationships, and self-regulation skills.  In addition to supporting mental health, well-being, and academic growth of students, regular mindfulness practice has also been shown to benefit teachers by assisting in the reduction and regulation of stress, reducing burnout increasing self-compassion and increasing teacher efficacy.

Increase Engagement with Cooperative Learning Strategies In the Mathematic Classroom
 
Presenter:  Bill Reed
 

It is important to get students to collaborate and not learn mathematics in isolation. By understanding, learning and practicing Cooperative Learning methods and techniques in the math classroom teachers can engage students.  Teachers will experience the use of various Cooperative Learning techniques and strategies that will help engage and get ALL students to be actively involved in learning.  Cooperative Learning allows teachers to easily differentiate their classroom so both high ability and students with special needs can participate and increase their retention and achievement for the subject they are learning.  Cooperative Learning has been proven to help students with better on-task behavior, better attitudes toward both the teacher and the subject they are learning, and overall have a more positive attitude toward learning and understanding.  Teachers will create a plan to incorporate Cooperative Learning techniques and strategies they can use in the classroom for the subject they teaching.

Social media, girls, cars, jobs, video games, how can we compete? We frequently think that boys do not like to read.

Cheers to the Curious: Non-Fiction in the Elementary Setting

​

Presenter:  Colette Huxford-Kinnett

We are often unsure of where to begin to help students and of where to find these texts.  Discover ways to help students interact with non-fiction, and possibly help improve test scores.  Investigate how both of you can easily create book trailers?

Whoa, That is Deep: Curiosity, Primary Sources, Literacy and Depth of Knowledge 
 
Presenter:  Colleen Huxford-Kinnett
 

Getting students to think deeply and critically is a challenge.                             What if we could find a way to help students build these crucial                           skills without their even realizing what we are doing.  Could                                   capturing curiosity be a key?  See how simple a 3-step process of                         evaluating primary sources does just that, and just might spark

your creativity about how to use this process with other things

and in other ways.  Along the way, we are also encouraging

literacy, visual literacy in particular.  Learn where to fine primary

sources, how to use them, and how to get students to engage.      

Come explore ways to connect Young Adult literature to primary

sources, to support ELA standards, to bolster higher-order

thinking skills and to revie some of those forgotten and

overlooked titles on our shelves.

Why Does This Student Have Problem Behavior?
Come Learn How Functional Behavior Assessments Hold the Answer!

 
Presenter:  Mandi Rispoli
 
“Why does this student keep acting out?” “Their behavior happens out of the blue.” “I've tried everything and they keep engaging in problem behavior!” Persistent student challenging behavior often leads school personnel to make statements like these.

Functional behavior assessments hold the answers to these questions. A functional behavior assessment helps us understand why problem behaviors happen and forms a critical link to behavior support plans. Decades of research shows that the best way to reduce student challenging behavior is to conduct a high-quality functional behavior assessment.

This
