10/07/2020Check-in with BLaST Intermediate Unit 17 for our K-8 TDA Skills Lab. Every month we will share a specific skill that educators should practice with themselves and their students to develop an analytical mindset and build a culture of analysis. These skills are recyclable and should be used throughout the school year. While the skills remain the same, the instruction may look different from grade to grade. The skills lab will run asynchronously and virtually so that educators can dive in when ready. Content will drop each month and reflection exercises will be embedded throughout each skill section. There will be touchpoints along the way with Rebecca Gibboney and Erin Hamilton, who will help bridge these skills into practice. $40/participant We do not have dates completely set yet but registration will be open until March to be safe.

10/27/2020The SWIS Suite is a reliable, confidential, web-based information system to collect, summarize, and use student behavior data for decision making. Research tells us educators can make more effective and efficient decisions when they have the right data in the right form at the right time. SWIS provides school personnel with the information they need to be successful decision makers. For more than a decade, SWIS Suite has assisted teams to improve their internal decision making and overall support plan design for individual students and their families. The three SWIS applications, SWIS, CICO-SWIS, and I-SWIS, align with a PBIS framework and provide the needed data for both universal screening as well as progress monitoring. Additional resources will be mailed. Registration Deadline: 10/26/2020
