Educator Training Details
- Teaching Superpowers: Navigating our Classrooms with Exceptional Children: This engagement provides practical strategies on how to address the needs of the overlapping identities of students within the classroom and working to disrupt the deficit model. Gifted and twice-exceptional characteristics are explored, particularly as they overlap with other student identities. Educators are provided with tools in order to be able to recognize these qualities in their students and work for depth of knowledge equity.
- Interrupting the Narrative: Practical Behavior Management and the Power of Relationships: Based on Dr. Greene’s methods, this in-service is a must for PBIS teams and classroom educators alike! It addresses the need for non-punitive strategies that provide students with the ability to develop neuropathways that lead to improved behavior. Especially aimed at providing support for our most difficult behavior challenges in the school systems, it provides practical strategies for students who do not respond to traditional behavior management approaches.
- Pathways to Equity: Formative Assessment and Flexible Differentiation: Addressing Equity and Diversity in a Self-Contained Classroom by looking at depth of knowledge equity, disrupting the deficit model,
- Dynamic Organization for Skill Based Small Groups: Teachers as Facilitators: Provides resources for organizing groups for flexible and fluid differentiated learning.

Parent Training Details
