SUMMARY:Planning for Student Social\, Emotional and Behavioral\, and Mental Health Recognition\, Screening\, and Response
DESCRIPTION:OverviewWashington K-12 school districts are required by RCW 28A.320.127 to adopt a plan to screen\, recognize\, and respond to student indicators of social\, emotional\, behavioral\, and mental health (SEBMH) such as\, but not limited to\, sexual abuse\, substance use\, violence\, or youth suicide. OSPI has created a Model District Template (2022) districts can use to guide their planning. This overview session will demonstrate how the OSPI Model District Template assists in organizing district teamwork and plans\, and will introduce additional resources for strengthening and easing the planning process. Shelley Seslar\, Behavioral Health Navigator at NCESD\, will facilitate this overview session\, and is available to assist your district or building in SEBMH planning work at any time. Please contact her for assistance. This training and assistance is free to districts thanks to Washington State funding of ESD Regional School Safety Centers. \nDate & TimeWednesday\, September 17\n9:00am – 10:30am \nLocationOnline \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours1.50 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >

SUMMARY:The Brain's CEO: Teaching Students to Manage their Executive Functions
DESCRIPTION:OverviewThis session is designed to help educators understand how executive functioning impacts a student’s ability to manage emotions\, plan\, organize\, manage time\, and complete tasks needed to be successful in school. We will explore different areas of executive functioning\, the typical ages and stages at which these skills emerge\, and the impact of ADHD on these skills.

SUMMARY:NCESD Saturday School: Building Thinking Classroom Day 1
DESCRIPTION:OverviewBuilding Thinking Classroom (BTC) is a practice most well known for having students working on thinking tasks\, in random groups\, and at vertical whiteboards – all of which take place during the body of the lesson. Much of how classrooms look and much of what happens in the present day is guided by institutional norms laid down at the inception of an industrial-age model of public education. These norms have enabled a culture of teaching and learning that is often devoid of student thinking. In this session\, I present some of the results of over 15 years of research into how teachers can transform their classrooms from a space where students mimic to where students think. \nThis introductory session outlines some of the 14 practices outlined in the book by Dr. Peter Liljedahl. All content areas invited. Participants will experience learning through a “Thinking Classroom” environment\, and learn how to implement their own “Thinking Classroom”\, including how to “launch” the environment\, and build in additional strategies over time. \nDate & TimeSaturday\, September 27\n9:00am – 4:00pm \nLocationNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nRegistration Price$75 \nClock Hours6 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >
