SUMMARY:Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM): Best Practices for a Defensible Process and Special Education Considerations
DESCRIPTION:OverviewBehavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM): Best Practices for a Defensible Process and Special Education Considerations  \nThis workshop covers legally defensible\, FERPA\, and special education law with discussion on how to make your school/district’s BTAM process more legally defensible and the considerations necessary to ensure your threat assessment processes do not violate special education protocols and procedures. Current research and recommendations will be discussed with an emphasis on the critical importance of establishing multi-disciplinary threat assessment teams\, addressing bias\, equity\, and disproportionality within the BTAM process\, and how to address the systemic barriers that complicate information sharing\, documentation\, follow-up planning and supports\, and implementation fidelity. Federal laws also require the “Direct Threat Standard” to be met for any threat assessment that is conducted on students receiving specialized services or accommodations. IDEA\, 504\, and ADA Title II considerations that must be addressed within the threat assessment process to ensure districts are complying with federal law will be presented. Best practice guidance regarding parent permission vs notification\, information sharing\, discipline\, and change in programming and/or placement decisions will also be discussed. In addition\, knowledge gained in serving as an expert witness in court cases involving threat assessment\, targeted violence\, and suicidal ideation will be highlighted \nParticipants will: \nLearn how to build a high-quality behavioral threat assessment and management program utilizing best practice strategies to build a legally defensible process. \nUnderstand how to conduct a threat assessment using strategies that increase equity while decreasing bias and disproportionality. \nLearn the clear distinction\, yet complementary aspects\, between threat assessment and suicide risk assessment\, and special education policies and procedures \nBe provided with best practice guidance regarding parent permission vs notification\, information sharing\, discipline\, change in programming and/or placement decisions\, and implementation fidelity \nLearn how IDEA\, 504\, and ADA Title II “Direct Threat Standard” intersect with threat assessment and the considerations needed to ensure districts are complying with federal law. \nIdentify the critical actions that need to be taken in the threat assessment process if a change of placement or programming is to be recommended. \nDate & TimeMonday\, February 9\n8:30am – 12:30pm \nLocationOn Zoom \nRegistration Price$40.00 \nClock Hours4 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >

SUMMARY:Reintegration with Intention: Aligning Safety\, Structure\, and Support
DESCRIPTION:OverviewThreat assessment isn’t just about identifying risk\, it’s about creating pathways back to learning. In this session\, we’ll explore how to embed threat assessment practices into MTSS frameworks to not only prevent harm\, but to reintegrate students with dignity\, support\, and structure. Participants will walk away with practical tools to align safety\, intervention\, and reintegration so students don’t just return to school\, but reconnect with a purpose. \nDate & TimeTuesday\, February 10\n8:30am – 12:30pm \nLocationNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours4 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >

SUMMARY:Building Thinking Classrooms® in Mathematics: A Book and Practice Study
DESCRIPTION:OverviewIn this asynchronous series\, participants will engage in: reading\, having conversations\, and collaborating. Conversations around the structures and practices presented in Peter Liljedahl’s\, “Building Thinking Classrooms® in Mathematics Grades K-12” will be discussed during the time together. Although the focus will be on math instruction\, the Building Thinking Classrooms® practices are beneficial for all content areas. These practices support teachers in shifting fundamental classroom structures to build a culture rooted in thinking. The first and last sessions of this book study will be community building. Opportunities for reflection will be given to consider connections to your educational system. Key Learning Outcomes: Commitment to our Learning Community: We have built the course around 90 minutes in each content module with 120 minutes engaging in the Welcome and Closure Modules. You can earn 8 clock hours for this Awareness and Understanding Course of the Building Thinking Classroom Book Study. \nDate & TimeFebruary 11 – April 15\n8:00am – 5:00pm \nLocationOnline \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours9 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >
