SUMMARY:Making Learning Stick: Season 2
DESCRIPTION:OverviewSeason 2 of Making Learning Stick builds on Jim Knight’s High Impact Instruction and continues the collaborative learning experience started in Season 1. This asynchronous professional development series invites educators to go deeper into the instructional and cultural practices that make learning visible\, durable\, and meaningful for students. Across six focused modules (2 hours each)\, participants will explore core elements of high-impact instruction\, including setting and reinforcing expectations\, witnessing and amplifying what students do well\, providing fluent and efficient corrections\, fostering learning-friendly classroom cultures\, and balancing structure with student autonomy. \nThe course uses a blended learning approach that includes short podcasts\, guided reflection prompts\, and interactive activities housed in Canvas. Participants will engage in individual reflection and collaborative dialogue to examine their own instructional practices and identify small\, actionable shifts that support student engagement\, clarity\, and ownership of learning. This learning experience is flexible\, accessible from anywhere\, and applicable to any instructional role. Educators will leave with a stronger understanding of high-impact teaching practices and a practical lens for creating classrooms where learning truly sticks. \nDate & TimeWednesday\, March 4\n8:00am – 5:00pm \nLocationOnline \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours12 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. Throughout the session\, we will offer practical\, universal strategies that can be integrated into classroom routines and activities to enhance executive functioning and facilitate independence. While these strategies may benefit students with executive functioning challenges\, they benefit all students! \nDate & TimeWednesday\, March 4\n9:00am – 3:00pm \nLocationNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours5.50 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >

SUMMARY:NCW Cyber Meetup - Social Engineering & Human Cognition
DESCRIPTION:OverviewJoin us for our monthly Cyber Meetup events! These events are designed for business\, education\, technology\, and community partners to come together for collaborative learning and discussion on technology topics. Every event features a presentation from a technology professional\, discussion\, and time for networking! \nSign up for our mailing list to receive update emails on future meetings. \nMeetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month at noon and lunch will be provided (to in-person attendees only). These events are made possible thanks to Microsoft! \nAbout March’s Event – Social Engineering & Human CognitionPresentation by: Randy Rose\, VP\, Security Operations & Intelligence at CIS\n \nRandy has over two decades of experience across state\, local\, and federal government. He currently leads Security Operations & Intelligence at the Center for Internet Security. In this role\, he oversees the execution of CIS’ Security Operations Center\, Cyber Threat Intelligence\, Physical Threat Intelligence\, Cyber Incident Response\, and Red Team missions in direct support of the Multi-State ISAC. Previously\, he led the largest Joint DoD Security Operations Center in Europe and headed the Intelligence Department for the Navy’s Cyber Operations Task Force. Early in his career\, he served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and\, upon discharge\, he was New York State’s first local government-focused penetration tester. \nHe moonlights as an adjunct instructor at Siena University and the State University of NY at Albany. He sits on the Board of Directors for two local community focused non-profits helping those in need of housing and supplies. With an academic foundation in anthropology\, psychology\, and cybersecurity\, Randy focuses on the human side of security and our interactions with emerging and future technology. \nSession description: The March session will be focused on social engineering. Social engineering tactics exploit the very traits that make us human: our cognitive abilities\, mental shortcuts\, emotional responses\, and the trust we place in each other. In this presentation\, we’ll explore the psychological underpinnings that allow attackers to manipulate behaviors\, drawing on insights from Daniel Kahneman’s research into our mental systems\, Robert Cialdini’s principles of influence\, and more. We’ll delve into the mechanics of information processing to uncover why our brains are wired to fall for well-crafted deceptions. This session offers a fresh perspective on social engineering in a fun\, interactive way\, helping you understand the “why” behind the “how” and empowering you to recognize and resist manipulative tactics\, and maybe even deploy some reversals of your own. \nDate & TimeWednesday\, March 412:00pm – 1:00pmLunch will be provided (to in-person attendees only) \nLocationOn Zoom \nThose who select the “Zoom” registration option will be sent a link to join the day before the meetup. \nNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nMid-Valley Hospital Conference Center | Family Medical Building\n800 Jasmine Street\, Omak\, WA \nBig Bend Community College\, WEC Building Room 0211\n7611 Bolling St NE\, Moses Lake\, WA 98837 \nRegister nowBack to events calendar >
