Catching Kids Before They Fall
Find out from the principal who was at the center of the "Paper Tigers" documentary what it means to be a trauma-informed school. Under Jim Sporleder’s leadership in collaboration with community partners, Lincoln High School became a “Trauma Informed” school, gaining national attention due to a dramatic drop in out of school suspensions, increased graduation rates and the number of students going on to post-secondary education. In this presentation, Jim will walk the participants through a brief overview of the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences, and how toxic stress impacts student learning and behavior. Participants will be introduced to what it means to be a Trauma-Informed School and how a trauma responsive approach is best practice for all students.

Understanding and Supporting Students with Challenging Behavior: School-wide
Supporting students with challenging behavior is complicated and requires a school-wide effort. Schools and students benefit when all staff are trained in the basics of understanding behavior and behavioral intervention. Training all staff creates a common language and skill set across administrators, teachers and staff for supporting students with challenging behavior. Schools also need personnel with more intensive training in behavioral intervention to support students with challenging behavior. This session will present a training model and free training resources (Basic FBA to BIP), including e-learning modules to help build the knowledge and skills of your staff to support students with challenging behavior.

Measuring Social Emotional Growth: From Systems to Individuals
A wealth of social, emotional, behavioral and mental health information is now available to schools. It can be confusing to know how to begin looking at this data, let alone how to use it to show growth at the systems, school culture, and individual levels. Let the Kansas MTSS and Alignment trainers show you how we are using a novel and streamlined way of looking at climate data to guide and drive growth at the systems and program level. By using the freely available Kansas Communities That Care survey data in a streamlined report, districts can quickly pinpoint 'hot spots' that may need their focus and resources. This can create stronger coherence within your MTSS, efficiency throughout the tiers, and align with State board and KESA goals. This allows your Social Emotional Learning efforts to reach their full potential, and we'll touch on measuring core SEL skill growth. It also ensures you aren't overwhelmed by special intervention needs. We'll touch on progress monitoring to measure growth within interventions. You'll hear from districts who have used our new CTC report and walk away with clear ideas about how your district can most efficiently navigate and measure social emotional growth

Five Actions for Productive Struggle (Grades K-5)
The struggle is real. But productive struggle is more than a catchphrase. It is the result of five actions that teachers take so that students struggle, persevere, and succeed. In this session, participants learn about how struggle in mathematics is grounded in identity, environment, planning, support, and reflection. Participants will acquire strategies to support them before, during, and after the lesson and the struggle. Instructional strategies, classroom resources, and lesson seeds will be shared for use as soon as the first day of school.

Teaching on the Edge of Understanding and at the Speed of Learning
There are many things to consider when we engage students in mathematics. What makes our task extremely difficult is that we teach a specific age of students that function and think in multiple grade levels.  This makes differentiation seem impossible but it doesn’t need to always feel this way. Come explore how the purposeful use and sequence of the right tasks can unlock what students know and inform our next move in the progression of learning. (Grades 2-6)

Equity through Teacher Clarity - Define the Gap, then Close It!
“What a student brings to the classroom each year is very much related to achievement in previous years: brighter students tend to achieve more and not-as-bright students tend to achieve less. Our job as teachers is to mess this up" - John Hattie, 2012. So how do we "mess this up?" Do students believe you can? This presentation focuses on how research consistently points to the need for teacher clarity. Clearly defined success criteria makes learning visible for both the student and the teacher, shifting student self efficacy from a foundation of general past failures in the math classroom to timely and clearly defined success based on a thoughtfully established progression of learning.

We will explore methods and strategies which empower leaders to address the problems of beginning teacher development and beginning teacher retention. We will review and discuss schools which have successfully achieved a 100% beginning teacher retention rate. Two specific questions will guide the presentation and the discussion. #1: Within a successful school which retained 100% of their beginning teachers, what did the teachers report that the administrative team did to support them and make them want to stay at their respective site? #2: Other than administrative efforts, what other factors influenced teachers to stay at this particular school site? Specific ideas for implementation will be shared.

Improving Academic Literacy K-12: Practical Evidence-Based Instructional Tools for EVERY Classroom
Large-scale meta-analyses (Hattie, 2009; Marzano & DuFour 2011) have concluded the key to accelerating student achievement is figuring out how to significantly improve typical daily instruction across the school. RTI/MTSS can potentially be the vehicle for this improvement IF leaders grasp the imperative of focusing squarely on improving core or Tier 1 instruction. This seminar will unpack key research supported practices found to improve academioc literacy (reading/writing/speaking/ listening/thinking) across all content areas including electives. Participants will experience concrete example strategies, critique unscripted classroom videos, engage in learn- by-doing simulations and explore free on-line resources. Major focus areas will include how to increase student engagement, build academic language/ vocabulary, and develop critical thinking and comprehension skills. Participants are encouraged to attend in school-based teams to maximize effective implementation.

Teaching Through Math Residue While Fishing for Misconceptions
Many times throughout the course of a year, we teach a lesson and the understanding goes out with the trash because student retention is minimal. What only makes things worse is that all the misconceptions we thought we addressed resurface towards the end of a unit.  Let’s explore how task selection can play a pivotal role in building math residue. Mathematical residue helps understanding stick and it reduces the number of times that misconceptions rear their ugly head. (Grades K-6)

Preventing Struggling Readers in Kindergarten and Grade One
In our work with school districts around the country, we are finding that the curriculum in many Kindergarten classes is not preparing all students for success in learning to read. Some students arrive in Kindergarten with fewer skills in place than the curriculum expects. Other students are not able to move at the pace of the curriculum. And some students are simply overwhelmed by the presentation of too much information at one time. To keep these students from becoming struggling readers in Kindergarten and Grade One, teachers need to clearly understand pre-reading skills that are necessary to be prepared to read, know which skills are weak or missing for students getting ready to learn to read, and have effective teaching strategies. In this session, we will present a comprehensive map of pre-reading skills that must be mastered prior to phonics instruction. The map presents a logical sequence of instruction, and it guides teachers to break skills instruction into manageable pieces. The session will include practicing some key strategies for instruction of these skills. We will provide a complimentary informal diagnostic assessment that teachers can use to determine if a student has mastered the needed pre-reading skills to become a successful reader. The assessment also targets skills a student still needs to master to be ready to learn to read.

The Five Critical Steps to Becoming a Trauma Responsive School
This session will teach the participants the “how to” in becoming a Trauma Responsive School. Learn the basic concepts to implementing a trauma-responsive school culture that will foster the significant changes we want for every student… improved behavior, attendance, higher academic achievement and higher graduation rates. Participants will: • Look at what the current research is telling us about the impact our traditional disciplinary practices are having on our students. • Understand the difference between “doing trauma informed practices,” versus “embracing trauma responsive practices as who we are as a person, as a school, and how we interact with those we come into contact.”  • See how a trauma-responsive approach is the umbrella that becomes your school culture and strengthens everything under it. •Be introduced to the Student of Concerns Model: a powerful system for tracking our most struggling students with intentional positive adult interventions and action plans. •Walk away with an understanding of what it takes to become trauma responsive, and how to begin experiencing the significant outcomes that naturally come with this new mindset.

Understanding and Supporting Students with Challenging Behavior: School-wide.
Supporting students with challenging behavior is complicated and requires a school-wide effort. Schools and students benefit when all staff are trained in the basics of understanding behavior and behavioral intervention. Training all staff creates a common language and skill set across administrators, teachers and staff for supporting students with challenging behavior. Schools also need personnel with more intensive training in behavioral intervention to support students with challenging behavior. This session will present a training model and free training resources (Basic FBA to BIP), including e-learning modules to help build the knowledge and skills of your staff to support students with challenging behavior.

Help! My Student Is Stuck at Sound-By-Sound Reading
A student has clearly developed phonological and phonemic awareness and demonstrates that he or she has learned letter names and letter sounds.  Yet the student does not move beyond reading by sounding each letter aloud then blending the sounds into a word. Many teachers describe their lowest students this way, and they don’t know how to help the student move to whole word reading.  We’ve helped a number of students who are stuck at the sound-by-sound reading stage. Most students we encounter don’t move easily beyond sound-by-sound reading are in first, second and third grades; but we have also worked with a few of these students in fourth and fifth grades who are in special education or Title I classes.  In this session, participants will learn the steps to take to help this student, receive some sample exercises to help students move beyond sound-by-sound reading, and practice some of the exercises.

Participants will acquire strategies to support them before, during, and after the lesson and the struggle. Instructional strategies, classroom resources, and lesson seeds will be shared for use as soon as the first day of school.

Teaching on the Edge of Understanding and at the Speed of Learning
There are many things to consider when we engage students in mathematics. What makes our task extremely difficult is that we teach a specific age of students that function and think in multiple grade levels.  This makes differentiation seem impossible but it doesn’t need to always feel this way. Come explore how the purposeful use and sequence of the right tasks can unlock what students know and inform our next move in the progression of learning. (Grades 2-6)
