Empower students to thrive by intentionally teaching executive function skills. This interactive session shifts the focus from managing behavior to building capacity. Learn actionable "adult moves"—modeling metacognition, creating predictable routines, and using visual tools—that help students plan, prioritize, and sustain attention, bridging the gap between external support and self-regulation.
As inclusion becomes the standard, general education classrooms are increasingly diverse, serving students with a wide range of needs. This session provides a practical overview of common special education classifications—including Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Other Health Impairment (OHI/ADHD), and Speech/Language Impairments. Moving beyond formal definitions, we will explore how these classifications manifest in daily learning, social interactions, and behavior. Participants will gain teacher-friendly strategies for implementing accommodations and modifications, foster a truly inclusive environment, and learn how to collaborate effectively with specialists to support every learner.
Discover how to move from reactive accommodations to proactive, inclusive design. This session explores the intersection of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and legal academic accommodations, demonstrating how UDL principles—multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression—can reduce the need for individual adaptations. Participants will walk away with actionable strategies to design flexible learning environments that proactively meet diverse learner needs, saving time while improving access for everyone.
Unlock the potential of inclusive education by mastering the art of mainstreaming. This session provides general and special educators with practical strategies to successfully integrate students with IEPs into the general education setting. Participants will explore collaborative teaching models, methods for differentiating instruction, and ways to foster a welcoming classroom culture that benefits all learners. Join us to learn how to move beyond compliance to create a truly supportive environment where diverse learners can thrive academically and socially.
Basics: This session provides a practical overview of co-teaching models—from Station Teaching to Team Teaching—designed to enhance student engagement and support diverse learners in general education settings. Participants will learn how to build professional relationships, share instructional responsibilities, and move beyond "one teach, one assist" to create true parity in the classroom.
Do you know your role in the IEP process? This session outlines the crucial contributions general education teachers bring to the IEP table, including data collection, implementing modifications, and supporting student success in the inclusive classroom. Participants will learn how to turn legally required attendance into meaningful collaboration, ensuring students with disabilities thrive in the general education curriculum.
Join this practical session to move beyond the theory of multi-tiered systems and explore high-leverage, evidence-based strategies that can be implemented immediately. Participants will learn how to strengthen Tier 1 instruction, utilize diagnostic data to form flexible small groups, and implement targeted Tier 2 and 3 interventions that address specific skill gaps in reading and math. Whether you are looking to refine your current process or build a more collaborative intervention team, this session provides actionable tools to boost student achievement and prevent academic failure.
