Removing the Mask Hiding Trauma: Meeting the Needs of the Whole Child
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Feedback Survey
Early abuse and neglect can teach children to engage in functional survival behaviors. When children start to feel anxiety, pain or hurt, or even sad, guilty or ashamed, they escape those feeling by blocking them or becoming numb. Often what survives are anger and rage expressed in the form of aggressive or problematic behaviors which can cause the behavior to impede the students education. This presentation will provide teachers with resources and tools to help their student(s) cope with these blocked or negative emotions.

Don't we all want our students to vocabulary rock stars?? YES we do!!! Don't we want to have a way to load work at one time, see real time work, make corrections on the spot, chunk, chew, check, and do it all with less stress?? Of course we do!!! WE have the tool right here to do this. Vertical learning is one a great way to get students engaged however, we don't always have the time to set up materials. BUT, we can do an alternative method. We can learn how to do vertical learning teaching which will advance students to think deeper, more critical and encompass group work. The best part is that it is fun for the kids, saves automatically, easy assessment for teachers and able to be used for any subject and/or grade. How about we learn how to do this? Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Streamlining Parent Communication: Let the Students take Ownership
Limited Capacity filling up
Feedback Survey
Has this ever happened to you: You have students who habitually turn in work late, but you haven't had the time to email the parents about the issue? Or, you struggle to find time to keep parents updated about what is going on in your classroom? Have I got a solution for you. Using a simple script editor and a link, have students take ownership of notifying parents of missing or late work, and notifying their parents monthly of their progress in your class. Once you have set it up, all you have to do is share a link, and the students do the rest.

Divergent Vs. Convergent Thinking: Going Beyond Mere Memorization To True Thinking
Limited Capacity seats available
Feedback Survey
What if X happened instead of Y? Questioning is not a skill educators learn in college. It is developed and perfected with experience and practice. When we ask a divergent question, we need enough uncertainty to force students to fill those gaps in as best they can. This naturally leads to different students making different choices and going in different directions (the definition of divergence). Participants in this session will learn about the difference in divergent questioning and convergent questioning and how to apply this in the classroom.
