About Wayne RESA Enhancing Education in Wayne County.

Have you found yourself wondering why students find fractions so challenging?Trying to figure out how to address gaps in students’early fraction understandings to move forward with grade-level content? Come join us to learn how you can teach fractions in a meaningful way that will develop deeper numeracy success in fractions as well as division.We consider fraction understanding to be a pivotal hinge point in mathematics learning because intentional work in fractions can both strengthen foundational numeracy skills and lay the foundation for success in later algebra.

Participants will learn how to complete the GSRP Final Expenditure Report and Carryover Budget for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year

Wondering why some children struggle in early mathematics? This course helps deepen your understanding of how children learn foundation topics related to addition, subtraction, and whole number. Investigate the learning trajectoriesrelated to developing a robust understanding of foundational early mathematics skills and supports the development of a deeper understanding of Early Math Essential Practice 4- Formative AssessmentAdd+VantageMR® (AVMR) supports educators in diagnosing and advancing student understanding and numeracy development. The assessment, data collection, and teaching tools are designed to accelerate the ability of educators to recognize students' current levels of numeracy understanding to make data-driven instructional decisions to support. These supports are applicable for small group interventions as well as tier 1 instruction.The cost of the course includes:AVMR 1 Teacher HandbookThree Assessment KitsOne Course TextbookWayne RESA provided intervention KitLearn more at: https://www.integrowmath.org/You need to attend all sessions and participate actively to receive certification from Math Recovery.

Held at the award-winning Detroit Institute of Arts, this unique event helps participants deepen their understanding of computational thinking (CT) integration in K–12 education. Participants will explore the benefits of a CT-infused classroom for both educators and students, engaging in activities and discussions that spark new ideas for practical implementation. The session also incorporates Visual Thinking Strategies and demonstrates how CT can be meaningfully connected to art. Attendees will leave with additional resources and opportunities for continued learning beyond the event.

A monthly gathering of Career Technical Education (CTE) Directors from across Wayne County, where we convene to collaborate, share insights, and strategize on enhancing our CTE programs.This meeting serves as vital platform for directors to discuss new initiatives, best practices, and the ever-evolving landscape of vocational education. The monthly agenda focuses on program improvement, topics include:updates on CTE legislation, curriculum development, continuous improvement, administrative responsibilities, program compliance, networking opportunities, roundtable discussions, and guest speakers.This meeting represents an invaluable opportunity to ensure our CTE programs are aligned with industry demands and effectively equip our students with the skills they need to succeed.Participation is crucial as we work together to drive excellence in career education throughout our community.

Want to learn more about The Essential Instructional Practices in Early Mathematics: Essential Instructional Practice (EIP) 6? EIP 6 states- Engage children regularly in brief (5-15 minute) interactive number sense routines focused on developing mental strategies for seeing quantity and working flexibly with numbers. This course focuses on Whole Number Number Talks which are one type of a Number Sense Routine you might choose to implement within your classroom.This is a self-paced course in Edupaths. In this course, you will be introduced to a Number Talk and the teaching practices that support the use of a number sense routine in the classroom. You will watch videos, plan for a number talk, practice recording student thinking, and consider the questions to use to support students' conceptual understanding of mathematics.Once the course window has opened, you will receive access via an Edupaths link to the course content.The cost of this workshop includes a Whole Number Number Talk book and a complete set of images to be used to support student understanding of numbers.To receive SCECHs, the course must be completed in its entirety by the last date of the course you are registered for. You can expect the full course to take approximately 8 hours to complete and can be broken into subtopics to more easily fit your schedule.Please be advised that once the registration period has closed, course materials will be sent to the address associated with your Learning Stream account. Once the materials are sent, the course is non-refundable.

Join us for an in-person advanced training in K-12 behavioral threat assessment & management (BTAM) to help enhance BTAM skills and decision-making in handling threatening and concerning behavior that impact K-12 schools.This advanced training session provides participants with a review of best-practice BTAM procedures; advanced content on planning and conducting interviews in K-12 BTAM cases, modifications to BTAM procedures for students receiving special education services, and interventions in complex cases; and, multiple case-study exercises that provide opportunities to practice using BTAM procedures in real-life scenarios. Previous attendance to the Basic BTAM training is required.

This 2-day, in-person training provides participants with knowledge and materials to conduct awareness-level training about behavioral threat assessment and management - and to assist in the development of individual schools’ threat assessment teams. This course is designed to build competent instructors and facilitate a sustainable behavioral threat assessment program for future years.The following are requirements for eligible attendees for Train-the-Trainer:Bachelor’s degree in education, criminal justice, law enforcement, psychology, social work, or other human services area.Proof of attendance at basic and advanced threat assessment and management training in the principles established by the National Threat Assessment Center (also known as the U.S. Secret Service model) conducted by SIGMA/Raptor Technologies or hosted by the Michigan State Police Office of School Safety or hosted by an intermediate school district (ISD).Written recommendation/permission from the ISD, regional educational service agency, school/district leadership, or local law enforcement agency.Willingness to deliver BTAM training to schools/school districts throughout the state of Michigan.Experience working K-12 threat assessment cases directly, whether as part of a law enforcement agency or as part of a threat assessment team in an educational, workplace, or community setting.Comfort and proficiency with public speaking.
