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: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 >

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: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 >

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 >
