What:
Zero-tolerance policies, which require out-of-school suspension or expulsion for certain inappropriate behaviors, have become the go-to disciplinary approach in many schools, though research suggests they have some downsides. Two alternate approaches that are more focused on changing behavior are restorative practices and PBIS-Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

At Haut Gap Middle and other Charleston, S.C., schools, educators say PBIS has transformed student behavior and increased academic performance. At Christian Fenger Academy High in Chicago, the new restorative approach to student behavior teaches discipline through discussion, support, and "peace circles." Learn how each of these approaches work from the educators who've been using them. When:

A baby's brain is made up of billions of brain cells that must be connected together in order for his brain to develop. The baby's brain is able to make 700 new connections between these cells every second. The first three years in a child's life are when his brain is able to make the most connections. These connections are the foundation for all future learning. That is why it is important to help the baby make positive connections as soon as possible. This webinar will focus on the importance of brain development and encouraging early milestones beginning at birth. When:

From Paper to Practice: Implementing the Common Core State Standards in English/Languag... - 0 views

shared by Terry Booth on 24 Apr 12 - No Cached

Terry Booth on 24 Apr 12

Click here to register for this webinar What:
The Common Core State Standards in English/language arts make new demands on both students and teachers. They ask that students become masters at "close reading" of text, build their argumentation skills, and be able to marshal evidence to defend their positions. Teachers learn how to lead students in that work, with new kinds of questions, new types of readings, and new ways of thinking about literacy. Teachers in two districts in Kentucky are on the leading edge of working with new instructional tools designed for the standards. Join us for a compelling discussion with two educators overseeing the implementation in these districts. When:
Tuesday, May 1, 2012
