The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) is widely considered the best instructional model to support multilingual learners (English learners) in English proficiency development and academic achievement. SIOP is the only empirically-validated model of sheltered instruction.Do you have multilingual learners in your school or classroom? Students with disabilities? Students who have been historically disenfranchised? Students who may need extra support with content concepts and skills? SIOP components and features can benefit all of these learners.This virtual SIOP Training is divided into 9 modules: 3 are synchronous (live) and 6 are asynchronous (at your own pace). This training incorporates a wide variety of technology tools into the SIOP model to support learning for ALL learners. Participants will have two weeks to complete all modules.This is an online event.**All sessions and asynchronous work must be attended and completed to receive SCECHs**

Participants will learn how to establish and sustain comprehensive school safety efforts that attend to both physical and psychological safety. The workshop addresses critical components needed to develop, exercise, and evaluate safety and crisis teams and plans; and conduct building vulnerability assessments. The model also integrates school personnel and community provider roles in providing school-based crisis preparedness and response activities. Additional topics addressed include media/social media, communication, reunification, students with special needs, culture, and memorials. After this workshop, participants will be better prepared to improve their school’s climate, student resilience, and crisis response capabilities of school personnel. With updated research and strategies, this workshop makes a clear connection between ongoing crisis prevention, mitigation, protection, and response.

“Putting instructional reforms into practice is a process that requires a vision, support for change, leadership and collaboration among teachers [as they use resources to design learning experiences]” (Short & Hirsch, 2023) Join us as we embark on a new model for secondary math leadership in which we invite teachers, department leads, or coaches to bring their secondary math curricular resources as we engage in mathematical reasoning together, plan for your upcoming units, and practice our teaching moves collectively.As we collaborate, we will learn about motivation, engagement, scaffolds, differentiation, formative assessment, and feedback.Take away resources to replicate the learning and planning with teams of teachers in your school or district.

This workshop meets the Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) requirement for implicit bias training for health professionals. This training will provide K-12 professionals training regarding the issue of implicit bias and how it relates to their areas of practice. In response to racism being named a public health crisis, the Michigan legislature has required all healthcare professionals to receive training on the topic of implicit bias. Specific areas to be covered by this training include how implicit bias is defined, how it exists and functions within systems and institutions, and how practitioners can notice, reflect on, and begin to redress their own implicit biases.Participants will learn about historical trauma and power structures, how they both manifest and perpetuate a culture of bias, and how doing internal work can begin to reverse the harm implicit bias causes in our school communities.CE Credits available for nurses and social workers.

We invite math teachers, leaders, coaches, and curriculum leads to join our network, focused on supporting equitable, evidence-based practices in math classrooms. Our goal is to help inform district work on curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Each year we focus on the Essential Instructional Practices in Mathematics, aligning with state efforts toimplement them in K-5 classrooms. Meetings will emphasize using curricular resources, engaging students, growing teacher capacity, and effective instructional routines.While our overarching vision for learning is similar each year, we engage in variations on how we address that learning each year - bringing in new articles, videos, and specifics of content to build math leadership capacity over a series of years. We encourage you to join us for multiple years as we grow and learn together.
