In this training, noting applicability to students of all instructional levels, a review of effective instructional strategies and procedures for delivering high-quality instruction will be covered. This will not only include direct instruction techniques 
but also establishing a cooperative learning environment, identifying different types of assessment, and data recording to inform instruction and intervention matching.

Trainers: Denise Shugarts and Elizabeth Cox, in cooperation with PaTTAN consultants Rachel Bixler, Cindy Sheehan, Ashley Harned and Jenn Shade

This series includes addressing both academic and behavioral skills through 
implementation of evidence-based practices. It is designed to assist multi-disciplinary teams meet the needs of students with emotional behavior disorders in various settings.

A short preview of some behavior skills that will be reviewed include: 
● Establishing instructional control and teaching self-advocacy skills 
● The use of trauma informed practices along with tips to increasing family engagement 
● Effective instruction methodologies 
● Standards aligned instruction 
● School-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS)

“The difference in the verbs used in the NGSS tells the story. Gone is the conception of science education as an abstract recall of facts. Instead, students demonstrate proficiency in science by engaging in actual scientific practices — in this case, developing models, designing solutions and constructing arguments. In the words of one standards author, the NGSS requires that students move from demonstrating good note-taking skills to demonstrating true understanding of scientific practices, concepts and core ideas. The resulting implications for classroom practice could not be greater.”  2013, Achieve NGSS Workbook 
 

Our goals are to shift our teaching to engage 21st Century students in rigorous science learning.  
 

NGSS Conceptual Shifts 
- K–12 Science Education Should Reflect the real-world interconnections in science 
- All practices and crosscutting concepts are used to teach all core ideas all year 
- Science concepts build coherently across K-12 
- The NGSS focus on deeper understanding and application of content 
- Integration of science and engineering 
- Coordination with Common Core State and STEELS Standards

Tier III Intensification Training

This training meets the requirements of the Commonwealth of PA Interagency Committee for Student Assistance Programs. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Building administrators, central office administrators, counselors, psychologists and classroom teachers who will be joining existing SAP core teams should attend this training. Child-serving agencies such as juvenile probation and children services would also benefit from this valuable training.

This meeting is for District Special Education Directors and/or designees.  We will share updates, information and resources from the Bureau of Special Education, Pattan and other activities that support the BSE initiatives in our schools.  Training will be provided on a monthly basis in various topics.

Prerequisite Strongly Recommended: National Research Council. 2012. A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas. free download Part 1 and chapters I & 2, Part II and chapters 3, 4 & one science field focus 
Participants will bring current STEELS curricular materials, including one unit and one selected lesson to review and shift towards STEELS aligned pedagogy. Ongoing support throughout the school year through TIU 11’s PennSEL STEELS Collaborative Community of Practice PLC will continue to provide time, space and collaboration for educators. 
 

What is Curriculum-based Professional Learning (CBPL)? 
The goals for CBPL is for students to be able to use skills to “wrestle with complex problems, collaborate with one another and investigate and apply information in creative ways.” 
CBPL is a “core set of research-based actions, approaches, and enabling conditions that effective schools and systems have put in place to reinforce and amplify the power of high-quality curriculum (HQIM) and skillful teaching. CBPL is anchored in the instructional materials teachers will use with their own students.” 
These include, for both teachers and students: 
- Incorporating active learning 
- Supporting student collaboration 
- Using models of effective teaching practices 
- Providing coaching and support to learners 
- Offering instructive feedback and reflective opportunities 
- Is of sustained duration 
- Is pedagogy and content focused using Anchoring and Instructive Phenomenon and the 3-Dimensions: Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts and Disciplinary Core Ideas 
 

Using “educative instructional materials (HQIM which supports both student and teacher learning), challenges teachers to think differently about learning and teaching and content. Instead of a textbook that provides only what to teach,” these instructional materials also provide support for “how to teach.” Because incorporating support for teaching into 
instructional materials makes them different and educative for both student and teacher learning, most teachers benefit from a rich form of ongoing professional learning that helps them learn how to use such materials and practices effectively. This type of professional learning is grounded in immersive learning experiences for teachers where they experience as learners (their own students) the new instructional materials in ways that mirror their intended use with students.”
