01/16/2024Students are more than a data point. This workshop helps district data teams understand the student story behind the data point. The workshop will focus on the bottom 10% of students that need the extra support. We will focus on understanding the data as a whole and writing the story and teams will hear a keynote on the "Dos and Don'ts of Interventions", spend time with IU 17's MTSS leads, and then collaborate with one another to write the final chapter for students. This workshop is a collaboration between IU 17 and LinkIt!

- Autism Network & Connect Series
Autism Network & Connect Series
–
01/31/2024Students diagnosed with Autism continue to increase yearly in schools at all grade levels. Students with Autism continue to learn uniquely in today’s classrooms. At the same time, there are always questions about how educators can best support them. This series will share strategies and content, and educators will have time to practice to develop a better understanding and increase a positive classroom culture and environment. These skills are applicable and should be used throughout the school year. The instruction and strategies may vary since “no two students are the same.” Reflection and networking opportunities will be included throughout each of the sessions, along with how these skills can be bridged into practice.
You can sign up for multiple sessions, as there will be a variety of relevant topics discussed in the area of Autism. All educators are welcome and encouraged to attend.
