The Adaptive Schools Foundation and Advanced Seminars present a productive, practical set of ideas and tools for developing collaborative groups in becoming effective and better equipped to resolve complex issues around student learning. The work of the Adaptive Schools Seminars is to develop the resources and capacities of the organization and of individuals to cohesively respond to the changing needs of students and society.The training not only explores what makes teams effective, but how to develop skills as facilitators and informed group members in informal and formal settings, in small and large groups. It takes participants beyond the idea of professional learning communities to the actual implementation, describing specific ways to weave the collaborative fabric of a faculty, develop group member skills, and acquire the principles and understandings to engage in a continuous cycle of team and individual improvement. Adaptive Schools is the “how” of professional learning communities: how to behave in groups, how to lead them, and how to facilitate them for improved leading, teaching, and learning.

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**

Building upon the foundation laid in CSTAG Levels 1 and 2, the Level 3 training takes participants to the next stage of expertise in threat assessment. This advanced program is designed to refine and expand the skills acquired in the previous level, providing a deeper understanding of the CSTAG model. The training focuses on honing the practical abilities of participants in investigating threats with increased complexity. Special attention is given to advanced topics such as nuanced risk assessment and dynamic threat scenarios.In Level 3, cases become increasingly complex and require careful analysis and teamwork. Participants can expect to work together in teams to apply what they learned in Levels 1 and 2 through a series of case exercises using the CSTAG model. Targeted towards members of school-based teams, this level is particularly relevant for the principal or assistant principal, school resource officer, and school health professionals. Including teachers, aides, and additional staff members continues to be encouraged, fostering a comprehensive and collaborative approach to advanced threat assessment and proactive intervention strategies.
