    What:
    SENG Model Parent Groups (SMPGs) bring together 10 to 20 interested parents of gifted and talented children to discuss such topics as motivation, discipline, stress management, and peer relationships.
    The co-facilitators of the group, though they are knowledgeable about parenting and about educating gifted/talented children, do not attempt to give expert advice to families. Instead their facilitation provides a non-judgmental and nurturing atmosphere. The parents of the high-ability children are themselves a rich resource of information, and they are able to get fresh ideas from other parents and from A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children, the book around which the sessions are organized. The groups meet weekly for 8-10 weeks. By the end of the training you will understand:
    Objectives of SENG's model parent groups Characteristics of parents who participate in SMPGs The role of the SMPG facilitator Group facilitation techniques Session content topic areas Characteristics Motivation Discipline Stress Management Peer Relations and Sibling Rivalry Tradition Breaking  Potential problems and solutions in SMPGs How to organize a local SMPG Plus you'll have the opportunity to practice the facilitation techniques you've learned.

    This intensive two-day training is designed to teach participants the theory behind the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and the protocols for how to appropriately implement the six phases of PECS. This is a Montana Autism Education Project sponsored training. The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is used to rapidly teach communication skills to those with limited functional speech.  PECS promotes communication within a social context, without lengthy prerequisite training.  Training in PECS begins by teaching a spontaneous request and goes on to teach additional communicative functions such as responding to questions and commenting.  An added attraction for preschool children with autism and related disabilities is the high proportion of children who acquire independent speech.  Participants will learn how to implement the six phases of PECS, plus attributes, through presenter demonstrations, video examples and role-play opportunities.  Participants will leave the workshop with an understanding of how to implement PECS with individuals with autism, related developmental disabilities, and/or limited communication skills.  What You Will Learn: The key Pyramid components to designing effective educational environments Strategies to create an abundance of opportunities for communication The relationship between PECS and traditional communication training approaches How to implement all six phases of PECS with target individuals using a behavior analytic orientation The criteria for transitioning from PECS to other communication modalities When/Where:

    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.

pluk.mt.typepad.com/...one-webinar-march-14-2012.html Communication Goals Trust Webinar
shared by danny hagfeldt on 27 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • What:Research provides strong evidence that organizations with a high degree of trust among employees are far more likely to make and sustain the kinds of changes that help them reach their goals and outcomes – than those organizations where there is little or no trust among staff. This session will describe both empirical and conceptual research related to trust types. We will explore the various types of trust as they relate to social and organizational life. In addition, we will make connections between trust, trust types, relationship, communication and increased effectiveness in mediation and ADR outcomes.  About Dr. Cathy Fromme: Dr. Fromme began her journey as an educator 32 years ago, as a first grade teacher in California. She is currently the Principal of TrustWorks. Prior to establishing TrustWorks she held district, regional ESD and state department positions in Washington. While at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction she developed Washington’s statewide Special Education Mediation System, chaired the statewide Commission on Student Learning Accommodations and Alternate Assessment committees.Cathy was also the Diversity Manager for the Washington Department of Natural Resources where she facilitated, positive/inclusive working relationships and diversity in the workplace for 1,300 DNR employees. She has consulted, written and presented extensively in the areas of trust, change management and work force diversity in schools and organizations. She received her B.S. from UCLA, M.S. from San Jose State University, and doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Washington. Though, her proudest achievements in life are her two grown sons. The youngest is an EMT in the US Air Force and the oldest is the owner/operator of a courier business in San Francisco.Meeting Details: To participate in this webinar you must call in and log in from your computer.

    What:
    Navigating the transition from high school to the world of work can be challenging for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and families. It can be even more challenging given the competing- and sometimes contradictory- messaging families receive from different systems regarding post-graduation options. Ensuring opportunities for a productive relationship between families and service systems, and routinely communicating shared goals, can be indicators of success. Join others from around the country to hear highlights from family experiences in sorting out messages from three service systems: education, Vocational Rehabilitation (VR), and IDD agencies.

    What:
    IDEA provisions for parent participation envisioned meaningful parent-school collaboration that could ultimately lead to positive student outcomes. Just like any relationship, this partnership requires hard work and commitment. Recent research has identified a number of effective, cost-efficient, and meaningful strategies that can promote meaningful parent-school partnerships through both conflict prevention and appropriate dispute resolution practices. Unfortunately, educators and parents are not always aware of how to implement such strategies. This webinar will explore the past and future direction for fostering the parent-school partnership when faced with the potential for conflict.
