In this session, we’ll explore practical, ready-to-use strategies that create access for all students while keeping the thinking deep with an elementary/high school mother/daughter presenter duo. Through examples from both elementary, middle and high school classrooms, participants will see how shared practices build confidence, reduce math anxiety, and support big thinking across grade levels.

This training is designed to help paraprofessionals understand how to use the prompting hierarchy to support students and gradually fade that help over time. Participants will learn how to give the right amount of support, reduce prompts step by step, and encourage greater student independence during daily tasks and instruction.

This training on Natural Environment Behavioral Coaching emphasizes that all student behavior serves a function, driven by internal needs and external factors like sleep and family issues. Effective coaching leverages positive relationships to reinforce replacement behaviors through key strategies such as behavioral modeling, incidental intervention, and meaningful feedback. The training stresses the importance of preventative strategies, like priming and establishing consistent classroom norms, while advising educators to maintain consistency, discuss behavior privately, and avoid power struggles.

How do we shift our science classrooms from traditional "information delivery" to authentic student investigation? In this interactive 50-minute session, we will explore how to design instructional units with clear, inquiry-driven purpose. Participants will analyze the critical differences between passive teaching methods and active discovery , learning how to use real-world, observable phenomena as the "spark" for student curiosity. We will also examine how to map instructional sequences that intentionally build essential skills and lead directly to robust unit performance tasks. You will leave with a clear framework for planning lessons where students actively figure things out and construct compelling, evidence-based explanations.
