SUMMARY:Safety Care Specialist Certification\, Complete
DESCRIPTION:OverviewThe Safety-Care curriculum is designed to provide a set of skills and strategies that allow staff in a variety of settings to humanely and safely provide support to students engaging in disruptive or dangerous behavior. \nThe prevention and de-escalation interventions in Safety-Care are drawn from extensive clinical research on the treatment of undesirable and dangerous behavior. Specifically\, they are drawn from the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). \nThe research has developed powerful\, non-coercive ways to prevent crises and teach desirable\, functional alternatives to dangerous and disruptive behavior. \nSome important Safety-Care principles: respect\, dignity\, and avoidance of coercion; use of least restrictive interventions that are safe and effective; applicability to many settings\, populations\, and regulatory environments; board use of clinically proven\, well-accepted\, evidence-based procedures; functionally sound interventions that minimize inadvertent reinforcement of challenging behaviors. \nIn addition to teaching concepts and skills related to prevention and de-escalation of behavioral incidents\, Safety-Care also provides staff with physical techniques for responding to dangerous behavior. \nWhen training on physical techniques\, Safety-Care has been careful to design them with these criteria in mind: avoids infliction of pain\, injury\, psychological trauma\, or other harm; minimal abuse potential\, does not hyperextend joints or place the student in an awkward position; physical skills build upon each other and integrate together well; minimally invasive and aggressive; consistent with least intrusive approach. \nDate & TimeAugust 29 – August 30\n8:30am – 4:30pm \nLocationNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nRegistration Price$35 \nClock Hours14 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >

Prior registration is not required to attend these events. \nClick here to subscribe to Science In Our Valley email updates \nHuman and Algorithmic Bias in AI | GAANPresented by Mr. Jarren Briscoe (Doctorate Fellow\, Washington State University)\nHuman bias permeates our lives. Is this inherent to intelligence? How does bias evolve over time? After Mr. Briscoe discusses definitions and types of bias in humans and machines (algorithms)\, he will show how “fairness via awareness” is often the best option. It is rather counter-intuitive\, but including sensitive features\, such as sex\, race\, gender\, and age\, in machine learning algorithms often reduces bias. He relate this to the human fallacies of composition and division. We cannot blindly take each part and believe it is the same as the whole. \nView & Download Seminar Flyer > \nThe seminar presentations are intended for a ‘science-based’ audience\, including researchers\, postdoctoral scientists\, teachers\, graduate students\, undergraduate scientists\, and science enthusiasts. \nK-12 educators are also encouraged to attend the seminar series to learn about local career connections and research efforts that they can bring back to their students.

DESCRIPTION:OverviewScience in Our Valley seminars run every Wednesday starting September 28 and ending November 16.

In the Wenatchee Valley\, a major pear growing region\, entomologists have been attempting to apply principles of sustainable “integrated pest management” against the main pear pest pear psylla for 70 years. \nThis presentation will focus on the history of these efforts and the prospects for the future of sustainable pest management in the region. Pear psylla management in Washington has followed a cycle of crises: a new insecticides is invented that is effective against pear psylla\, then the pest evolves resistance\, and then pesticide use worsens the problem by killing the predators and parasitoids of the pest. The cycle repeats through the invention and loss of new active ingredients. Many researchers demonstrated that reducing use of pesticides and timing applications better can allow beneficial insects to keep pear psylla suppressed\, but industry has struggled to adopt these “integrated” pest management programs. New tools\, on-farm research programs\, and cooperation of agricultural professionals discussed in this presentation could help end the cycle of ineffective pesticide dependence in Washington. \nView & Download Seminar Flyer > \nThe seminar presentations are intended for a ‘science-based’ audience\, including researchers\, postdoctoral scientists\, teachers\, graduate students\, undergraduate scientists\, and science enthusiasts. \nK-12 educators are also encouraged to attend the seminar series to learn about local career connections and research efforts that they can bring back to their students.
