    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

Paraeducator Mid-Winter Conference: Instructional Strategies that Promote Student Succe... - 0 views

  • 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.
