Click here to register for this webinar

What:
Teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression are pervasive problems with children and adolescents across the country and in our communities today. To address these problems, schools need comprehensive, evidence-based, and ecologically-sound assessment to intervention approaches at the primary (e.g., whole school or school linked to community), secondary (e.g., early intervention groups for potential or "early-indication" bullies or victims), and tertiary (e.g., direct services for existing bullies) levels of prevention. This webinar will present strategies at each of these intervention levels using Project ACHIEVE's "Special Situation Analysis" approach. More specifically, the webinar will discuss ways to leverage social skills training, peer-mediated approaches, school-wide accountability systems, school safety systems, and home-school collaboration such that teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression is either prevented or addressed. Especially emphasized will be the importance of differentiating approaches to address the bullies, victims, and bystanders who are involved in these inappropriate interactions. Participants will learn: How school-based teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression need to be addressed through comprehensive, evidence-based, and ecologically-sound assessment to intervention approaches at the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention levels; How to apply Project ACHIEVE's "Special Situation Analysis" approach to interventions at these three levels ; How to leverage social skills training, peer-mediated approaches, school-wide accountability systems, school safety systems, and home-school col

OCR charter schools section 504

shared by Roger Holt on 06 Nov 13 - No Cached

The U.S. Department of Education announced today that its Office for Civil Rights has entered into an agreement with Virtual Community School of Ohio to ensure compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act for students with disabilities at the school. This first-of-its-kind resolution promises equal access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities in virtual charter schools. Virtual Community School of Ohio is an Internet-based, public charter school that serves approximately 1,200 students who reside throughout the state of Ohio. "Students with disabilities who attend online public charter schools are entitled to all the protections of the federal civil rights laws that their peers receive at traditional public schools, including the right to receive a free appropriate education. Online schools also must take steps to ensure that the websites and online classrooms they use to promote their services and to educate students are accessible to individuals with disabilities," said Catherine E. Lhamon, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights. "Online education environments such as this in which students reside across the state and go to school together in a totally on-line environment, may present unique challenges. Nevertheless, these online schools must comply with the civil rights laws. I commend Virtual Community School of Ohio for agreeing to address these issues as part of its agreement with OCR."

Click here to download the flyer for this event (.pdf) What/When:
Supporting all Kids to Become Cool Kids: A Schoolwide Approach * June 11, 2012

Participants will be introduced to system wide approaches and practices to promote appropriate student behavior, teach social competence and establish consistent reactions to instances of unacceptable student behavior. When all staff consistently use an effective school wide approach, overall student behavior improves, time available for teaching and learning increases and the climate of the school community becomes more supportive and safe for both students and educators. All Kids Can be Cool Kids: Individual Plan and Approaches for Individual Students * June 12, 2012

Exemplary schools have well-designed, consistently implemented, and consistently improving systems for encouraging appropriate student behavior. However, even in these schools, there will be a small number of students needing more structure and support to be behaviorally successful. This workshop will address how to develop, implement, monitor, and adjust effective individual plans for these few "tough" kids for whom the school wide practices are not sufficient. Every Kid Can be a Cool Kid: Every Adult Can Make a Difference * June 13, 2012

In this workshop, participants will learn a variety of communication and interaction strategies designed to not only build relationships with students but increase the likelihood of student compliance with adult directions, the growth of overall social competence and the enhancement of the school environment as a place for adults to work and students to learn.

November 12th - Implementing AAC in the Classroom with Kelly Fonner, Consultant, Fonner Consulting & Training   OVERVIEW: Challenges are often met when introducing AAC systems from the clinical or
"speech-room" setting into the busy environment of the classroom. The "real-world" of
communication does not always play out easily for the student using AAC. Whether they are using
lo-tech or hi-tech systems there are strategies that can assist staff and families in bringing AAC into
the school day. During this webinar you will learn to evaluate the AAC-using student's day by
communication contexts and reevaluate the possibilities of how your student can more effectively
communicate, learn vocabulary or communication strategies during the typical activities of their
school day.
Exciting two part webinar series on Reading Comprehension with Scott Marfilius. It is recommended
that both webinars be attended. The content for these two webinars come from Scott's highly
acclaimed three hour workshop.    REGISTER ONLINE     http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0015DFd8XTzVJ3rQKTZEMzE53P63vyJ

What:
This event is organized through the school PTAs/PACs, so you hopefully have already heard about it through your child's school. In case you hadn't, I wanted to make sure you know about it. Anderson school, on Cottonwood, where our children attend, has participated all 5 years, and it's a great event! These families have been incredibly generous, donating clean, gently-used clothing, shoes, hats, etc. of all sizes, infant through adult. Volunteers are also always needed to help sort, hang, and organize the donations during set up. Any time you have to volunteer, short or long, will be greatly appreciated. If you come on Tuesday or Thursday over the lunch hour, the Tumbleweed Gourmet Food truck will be there selling volunteers their gourmet tacos and burritos. If you are able to help anytime next week for 2 hours, you can take a brown paper grocery sack of treasures for yourself! This free clothing giveaway is a fantastic opportunity to reuse and recycle gently worn clothing collected by Bozeman area schools. This event is not based on "need," but on "sharing" what we have as a community.
