About Wayne RESA Enhancing Education in Wayne County.

In this series participants will learn about the foundational elements of Early Childhood Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (EC PBIS). These essential practices make up the bottom layer of the Pyramid Model and support the social and emotional development of all children ages birth through five. The two key components of the model that will be discussed are the development of nurturing and responsive relationships and the creation of high quality supportive classrooms.

Improving early literacy outcomes requires more than a strong curriculum—it demands shared clarity, intentional leadership, and consistent instructional practices across classrooms. This session introduces the K–3 Literacy Playbooks as a practical tool to help principals and coaches move from research to daily practice.Participants will explore how playbooks can establish a common language for high-quality instruction, support focused classroom walkthroughs, and strengthen coaching conversations grounded in the Essential Instructional Practices in K–3. Particular attention will be given to identifying and supporting evidence-based instructional methods aligned to the science of reading and principles of structured literacy, including explicit and systematic instruction, cumulative skill development, frequent opportunities for guided and independent practice, responsive feedback, and intentional support for oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.We will examine how to leverage instructional “look-fors,” anticipate common challenges in literacy instruction, and respond with clarity and purpose to strengthen classroom implementation. Designed for both building leaders and instructional coaches, this session highlights how aligned leadership can strengthen Tier 1 instruction and ensure all students experience consistent, high-impact literacy learning.Participants will leave with concrete strategies to support teachers, build coherence across classrooms, and translate literacy priorities into actionable, evidence-based practice.

PREPaRE Workshop 1 participants will learn how to establish and sustain comprehensive school safety efforts that attend to both physical and psychological safety. The workshop, developed by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), 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.Important Notice: This course requires the completion of pre-work prior to the first day of training. Access to materials will be provided via email a minimum of 7 days prior to the start date. Once training materials have been accessed the participant is no longer eligible for a refund. However, under certain circumstances rescheduling to another session within the academic year can be accommodated.

Have you wondered how to balance grade level learning with students’ needs to access prior content knowledge? Have you wondered how to connect to prior grade learning without compromising your own grade level or course content?Join us as we utilize problem strings, tap into conceptual connections, develop mathematical reasoning, and provide access to grade level learning.We will meet virtually for 2 half days.In between these sessions, plan to implement problem strings and bring back samples of student thinking.The cost of this session covers the cost of a book that allows you to operationalize the techniques we learn together.This is a course we recommend to address MTSS in secondary mathematics.

This PD offering supports teachers’ assessment and interventions for Tier II and Tier III and serves as a complement to evidence-based instruction in Tier I instruction in mathematics. AVMR2 supports teams of K-5 teachers to implement tier II and Ill instruction in place value, multiplication, and division in the elementary mathematics classroom. Teachers learn to utilize a diagnostic assessment from Math Recovery® that targets students' current understanding in mathematics for the focus mathematics topics. Participants are then supported to recognize students' progress during tier 1 mathematics instruction, and to implement tier II and tier Ill interventions based on progress monitoring.The cost for this course includes a diagnostic assessment kit from US Math Recovery Council and resources to support intervention, including manipulatives, an intervention resource with activities, and a one-year membership to US Math Recovery.Contact Janine Owen (phone 734-334-1688); owenj@resa.net

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.

Are you a district grant manager navigating the complexities of Title I–IV funding, consolidated applications, and federal compliance? Join us for our FundED Learning Labs — a bi-monthly, hands-on series.Each Learning Lab pairs targeted micro-training led by MDE consultants with dedicated collaboration time, so you leave every session with both new knowledge and real progress on your district's work. Topics are timed to match the grant management calendar, covering what you need when you need it — from amendment season preparation and carryover procedures to program evaluation using MICIP and NexSys documentation.These Labs are ideal for district-level state and federal program leaders, grant managers, and budget directors responsible for Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV, or Title V funding. Whether you're a seasoned grant manager or new to the role, this series offers a supportive space to deepen your understanding of federal funding requirements, troubleshoot challenges with peers, and stay ahead of critical deadlines. No question is too small — bring your laptop, your NexSys login, and your toughest compliance questions.

In times of crisis, educators play a central role in guiding students through challenging conversations with sensitivity and resilience. Teaching Through Crisis is a comprehensive resource designed to equip educators with tools and strategies necessary to navigate complex classroom discussions, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. This session will explore the Teaching Through Crisis resource and address its key concepts, including the creation of enabling conditions, immediate practices for responding to crises, and methods for repairing harm and restoring relationships post-discussion.

This Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Foundation Training has proven effective in resolving violent situations. By participating in this program, participants will gain the skills and confidence necessary to handle crisis situations in schools with minimal anxiety and maximum security. This training will help participants intervene more safely when student behavior becomes dangerous without damaging any professional bond already established with students. Upon successful completion of this training, participants will be CPI certified for a one-year period. Following this initial 2-day foundation training, a formal refresher CPI training is recommended annually.This is a HYBRID format course, Day 1 is completed in an asynchronous format and MUST be completed before attending Day 2 (In person).Please Note: Successful completion of this course addresses multiple required training components for Key Identified Personnel as described in the Michigan State Board of Education's Policy for the Emergency Use of Seclusion and Restraint.
