Click here for complete information and registration!What:Instruction in any classroom is a responsibility shared by all teachers and paraprofessionals regardless of level or content. Educators who accept this idea are already a step ahead - but for teachers and paraprofessionals who may have never had the opportunity to learn how to teach basic instructional support and engagement strategies, the task is daunting. This hands-on session will examine Before, During, and After reading strategies that can be applied in all classrooms and support increased comprehension of any content area text. Paraprofessionals will practice the strategies and receive tools to begin immediately applying the new learning when they return to their classrooms. When all teachers and paraprofessionals have students use common strategies, it leads to greater independence, more responsibility in the learning, and increased student outcomes for all students.

Current Trends in Assistive Technology for K-12 Settings - Webinar - Sep 5, 2013 - 0 views
-
Register for this webinar
What:
Explore the current issues and trends surrounding assistive technology devices and service for public schools and districts. Current technology-related issues are catching the attention of many state and local education agencies with the development of operational guidelines surrounding implementation and development of technology in general. Assistive technology tools, devices and services have been interwoven into the fabric of least restrictive environment (LRE) to afford access to the general curriculum and instructional materials for our special needs students for many years (since IDEA 2004). However, with the onset of "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) or "Bring Your Own Technology" (BYOT) in addition to mobile technologies being used by all school personnel, district operational guidelines are blurring the line of assistive and instructional technology.
