Workshops

This PD focuses on why building relationships with students is vital. The presentation covers what students are facing, the positive effects of having positive relationships, and the process of how to start building these relationships. It also discusses the different levels of relationships and gives strategies on how to connect with students.

This presentation will provide an overview of Social Emotional Learning, why it is needed, and how it can benefit students. Participants will be provided school/classroom strategies to implement along with resources on where to find SEL support. 

Math and Reading can be difficult for teachers to engage students.  Participants will learn about programs, strategies, interventions, technologies and games to implement in their classrooms to improve student engagement.

Participants will learn why and how inclusive learning environments are supportive for all learners.  A discussion of each co-teaching model will be presented with examples for each.  Additional resources will be shared and a dialogue around potential first steps towards greater inclusion in buildings will be discussed.
