SUMMARY:AT Making - Solder\, Switches & Stuffing
DESCRIPTION:  \nFree transformED Educator Workshop\nDiscover AT-making skills for creating accessible technology solutions by learning soldering and other useful techniques.\nAre you looking for projects that your school’s STEAM program or club can use to develop and hone basic making skills? Are you curious about additional\, real-life applications for the tools and skills your students are learning? Are you wondering how you can hack toys to make them more accessible to children with physical disabilities? \nThis hands-on workshop will introduce participants to assistive technology (AT) making skills to create usable access products. Participants will learn basic soldering to join wire segments and assemble mono and stereo components for use in a variety of assistive technology applications. Those skills – along with some 3D-printed parts – will be applied to create a mechanical switch that could be used by an individual with physical disabilities. Each participant will also make a battery interrupter and switch-adapt a stuffed\, electronic toy that can be used with the scratch-built switch. \nSkill Level: Beginner (no previous knowledge expected or needed) \nWhat to Bring | All materials will be provided for this workshop. Participants are encouraged to bring a reusable shopping bag to carry completed projects home at the end of the day. \nWho Should Attend | STEAM teachers and other educators who would like to learn valuable “making” skills in ways that can increase accessibility for others \nLunch will be provided. \nRegister on Eventbrite\n\nLearn more about transformED\n

SUMMARY:Check Your Feed: How is Student Digital Well-Being Influenced?
DESCRIPTION:  \nUncover how social media trends can shape student perspective\, & learn actionable strategies to empower students to navigate digital content at this free transformED Educator Workshop.\n  \nRECOGNIZE how students are being influenced. This workshop aims to help participants identify and decode hateful elements in trending content\, including algostrategies\, false and misleading information\, punchlines\, and micro-aggressions. \n REPORT and/or take appropriate (in)action. Because cognitive skills related to perception\, awareness\, and empathy are still developing\, teens frequently dismiss hate and extremism as an inevitable part of viral participation. This workshop emphasizes teaching students to become active\, as opposed to passive\, consumers of social media. \nREDUCE exposure to hate and extremism. With the influence and intention of social media algorithms\, the concern is that viral trends may be an entry point into a meandering rabbit hole that leads toward more extremist views. This workshop helps participants assist students in reducing this exposure. \n\nBackground | The facilitators are a multidisciplinary and multi-organizational research team\, funded by the Collaboratory Against Hate Research and Action Center in Pittsburgh\, PA\, studying viral extremism on TikTok to create an educational intervention to raise awareness\, mitigate harm\, and prevent radicalization especially among young digital native people. \nWhat to Bring | Laptop or tablet\, if possible \nWho Should Attend | Teachers\, Administrators\, School Counselors \nLunch will be provided. \nRegister on Eventbrite\n  \nLearn more about transformED\n

SUMMARY:Writing Meaningful & Compliant IEPs
DESCRIPTION:The IEP process and product can be both educationally useful and legally compliant. Join the AIU TaC for a complete a comprehensive workshop series that is designed to build the internal capacity of special educators when writing compliant and meaningful IEPs. Participants will learn how to better engage in authentic assessment and data-driven decision-making to develop meaningful IEPs that also meet the compliant requirements from PDE and the Bureau of Special Education. Importantly\, the participant will strengthen his or her ability and skill set to write comprehensive\, legally defensible IEPs. \nAs a part of this workshop\, participants will engage in enhancing an IEP for a student on their current caseload. Participants will need the following: \n\nA computer\nA current IEP for a student whose annual meeting date will occur within the next three months\nA printed copy AND electronic version of the selected student’s current current IEP document (MSWord or Google Doc)\n\nWe will not be working on your district’s IEP paperwork platform\n\n\nAn Evaluation Report and/or Re-evaluation Report for the selected student\nPrinted copies and/or ensure digital access to the selected student’s assessment data (PSSA\, Keystones\, PASA)\nEnsure access to district utilized assessment platforms (IXL\, STAR\, TeachTown\, EdInsight) and the selected student’s data\n\n  \nPlease note this workshop includes exercises in writing more meaningful and compliance IEPs. Edits made to an IEP during this workshop are for learning and practice purposes only. \n  \nThe IEP is a legally binding document that is developmental collaboratively with all members of the IEP team. Any revisions must be made through an IEP meeting.
