SUMMARY:Science School Year Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:Start the school year in science off right by setting your classroom up for success with implementing PA STEELS standards \n\n\n\n\nAre you thinking about how you might want to start the 2026-2027 school year in science to maximize your students’ sensemaking? How can you create a solid foundation for a classroom community that values figuring things out about our natural and engineered world and leverages crosscutting concepts and science & engineering practices along with core science ideas? \nSpend the day with us to generate a workable plan for starting the school year in a way that will pay dividends by the time testing season rolls around. \nWHEN: Wednesday\, August 12\, 2026 from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM \nWHERE: Allegheny Intermediate Unit in Homestead\, PA \nWHO: Any K-12 science teacher or administrator who has attended any of the science professional learning offerings from AIU MSC around PA STEELS. (This prerequisite is mentioned because we will assume particiaptants come with a working knowledge of phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional\, equitable science teaching. In other words\, you are already working towards instruction aligned with PA STEELS standards.)

SUMMARY:TCCAC Annual Meeting Series: Fostering Success Beyond the IEP
DESCRIPTION:Pennsylvania’s transition community has a long-standing legacy of supporting youth and young adults in successfully navigating the transition from school to adult life. Since 1990\, Pennsylvania’s Local Transition Coordinating Councils (LTCCs) have played a critical role in fostering collaboration\, alignment\, and shared responsibility among stakeholders. \nFor the 2026–2027 school year\, the Transition Coordinating Council of Allegheny County (TCCAC) will host four full-day\, in-person meetings. These sessions are intentionally designed to provide dedicated time for high-quality professional learning\, cross-agency networking\, strategic coordination\, and the development of practical tools and resources. Each meeting will engage transition coordinators\, educators\, administrators\, families\, and agency partners in meaningful learning experiences focused on strengthening collaboration\, enhancing problem-solving\, and improving coordinated supports for transition-age youth with disabilities. \nThe series emphasizes building systems and practices that empower students to successfully navigate their individualized pathways toward graduation\, identify postsecondary outcomes and foster success beyond the IEP. Participants are encouraged to attend all council meetings to maximize opportunities to expand their professional networks\, deepen their knowledge and expertise\, access valuable resources\, and stay informed about upcoming initiatives and events that support their work and community connections. \nTCCAC SESSION 1\n\n\nDate: 9/23/2026 \nTime: 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM \nLocation: McGuffey & Sullivan Rooms\, Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 East Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nRegister and Learn More

SUMMARY:The Dynamic Learning Maps in Action: Instructional Planning
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Allegheny Intermediate Unit’s Training and Consultation team for this HYBRID training series. \n\n\nThrough two in-person training days and two one-hour networking sessions\, this series moves use of the DLM from a PASA assessment score report into a practical tool for instruction and IEP development. Participants will use student specific data alongside the DLM Essential Elements\, Linkage Levels\, and Mini-Maps to identify starting points for instruction\, build learning progressions\, and design meaningful goals\, objectives\, unit and lesson plans aligned to current performance. \nDay 1 focuses on interpreting prior year PASA DLM results into instructional entry points\, connecting Essential Elements across grade levels\, and building unit and lesson plans using high leverage precursor skills. Participants will also be introduced to the updated Science Essential Elements. \nDay 2 builds on implementation experience and shifts into refining IEP Present Level of Academic & Function Performance (PLAAFP) statements\, developing measurable annual goals and short-term objectives\, and using DLM linkage levels to strengthen alignment between assessment data\, instruction\, and IEP development. \nDuring both days\, dedicated workshop time allows for both independent work time and collaborative problem solving to ensure instruction is grounded in meaningful\, accessible learning progressions. \nDay 1: The DLM In Action: Instructional Planning\n\n\nDate: September 29\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM \nLocation: McAuliffe Room\, Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 East Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \n\n\nLearn more and Register

SUMMARY:Administrator-Focused Science Professional Learning
DESCRIPTION:This administrator-focused PL offering was specifically designed to help leaders support shifts in science instruction towards PA STEELS \n\n\n\n\nWho: Any and all administrators (district or building) or explicitly defined science leaders (e.g.\, department head\, coach\, grade-level lead) are invited to attend \nWhen: September 30-October 1\, 2026 from 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM \nWhere: Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 E. Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nPrice: $350 (Possible discounted rate for educators from high-needs school districts based on potential grant funding) \nWhat: The Principals Learn and Network to Support 3-Dimensional Science Learning (PLANS) is an interactive experience emphasizing Instructional leadership and active support for K-12 science and STEM teachers at both the building and district level. This pathway is specifically created for instructional leaders interested in knowing more about and figuring out constructive strategies for supporting teachers and students as they make shifts in their teaching and learning towards phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional science. \nPLANS participants are immersed in actively learning in ways that NGSS \, PA STEELS standards\, and education research calls for students to learn science in the classroom. Administrators experience firsthand what it feels\, looks\, and sounds like when K-12 students are figuring out why phenomena happen as well as representing their thinking through modeling and productive classroom talk. Administrators use some of the important tools for making thinking public that teachers and students use in NGSS-designed units. Then\, administrators have opportunities to reflect together on what it means for students and teachers to work together as a community —- and how they can support this work themselves. \nThroughout the experience\, participants consider the ways in which their school can begin (or continue) to make these shifts. They see examples of students engaged in NGSS-designed learning in classrooms\, as well as administrators supporting teachers as they begin to implement the changes called for by NGSS. They explore concrete tools they can use to support teachers (for example\, in planning meetings\, observations\, and debriefs)\, and they begin to plan how they might use these tools themselves. \nThe shifts motivated by the National Research Council’s Framework for K-12 Science Education (NAS\, 2012)\, the NGSS and PA STEELS standards are substantial. Yet we know that these shifts are possible for teachers to make. We also know that the shifts are productive for student learning\, and they must be supported through pedagogy and classroom culture. Instructional leadership and active support at the building and district level is an important part of a successful outcome for teachers of science and for their students! \nTech: Please bring a laptop and/or tablet to access online resources.

SUMMARY:Prevention Plus Instruction: The Formula for Behavior Change
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Allegheny Intermediate Unit’s Training and Consultation team for this IN-PERSON training. \nEffective behavior support requires more than responding after a problem occurs. It requires understanding why behavior happens and intentionally designing conditions that promote student success. Teachers will learn to create environments that support learners’ diverse needs in order to prevent or reduce the likelihood of interfering behaviors occurring. Using a functional lens\, teachers will identify patterns related to stressors\, unmet needs\, and skill deficits that contribute to behavior. Additionally\, time will be spent on learning how to select and teach replacement behaviors that are efficient\, serve the same function as the interfering behavior\, fit the context of the environment\, and are socially appropriate. \nDate: October 1\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM \nLocation: Flexible Instruction Room\, Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 East Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nLearn more and Register
