SUMMARY:The EBR Process\, Building Capacity for Your EBR Team
DESCRIPTION:The Educational Benefit Review (EBR) is provided to teams who are entering a cyclical monitoring year and to ensure that students with IEPs are receiving educational benefit. Teams will be provided with the legal background on EBR and participate in a four-step process to analyze and compare three years of IEPs to determine if a student has received educational benefit. Additionally\, teams will have the opportunity to work on their 10 EBR student cases to identify/target specific areas related to their school-age grade bands\, compliance requirements\, pros\, cons\, and identify technical support or professional development needs to support their knowledge and expertise of educationally beneficial IEP composition. \nThis training will not only to fulfill requirements for cyclical monitoring\, but encourage districts to consider integrating EBR as a best practice when composing IEPs annually. For this training\, the EBR Facilitator (Special Education Administrator\, Principal\, LEA representative\, or designee) will be asked to attend with their team. It is highly recommended that schools attend as a team. EBR Teams must be comprised of at least 1 Special Educator\, at least 1 general educator\, at least 1 Related Service Provider\, and the EBR Facilitator. \nTOOLS & MATERIALS NEEDED: Teams will be required to bring laptops\, paper copies of three years of the selected student’s IEPs (current year and two years prior) \n*Please be advised\, if your district has been selected for 2024-2025 cyclical monitoring (CMCI)\, you may utilize this training date to work with your EBR teams to complete the 10 EBR students’ cases selected by your BSE advisor. Additionally\, support can be provided by AIU TaC to facilitate this requirement. Additional times and dates can be arranged to provide optimum support to complete this requirement.

SUMMARY:Elementary Science Symposium
DESCRIPTION:You know kids learn science best by engaging in the subject from an early age\, but how do we find time\, and how do we teach it these days?\nScience and engineering education is undergoing a transformation (Kober et al\, 2023). We all know that children learn science best by engaging in the subject from an early age in the way that scientists and engineers do\, but… \n\nHow can we find the time to teach science consistently and in a phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional way in K through 5?\nWhat does it look and sound like in an elementary science classroom these days?\nHow can we possible teach all the math and ELA we have to teach and still find time for science?\nThere are environmental literacy standards now\, too?! What?\n\nIf you’ve asked yourself any of those questions (or others about elementary science) since the release of the PA STEELS (Science\, Technology & Engineering\, Environmental Literacy & Sustainability) standards in July\, 2022\, then you can benefit from joining the Allegheny Intermediate Unit Math & Science Collaborative at the Elementary Science Symposium. \nCost: Free. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. \n

SUMMARY:Building Thinking Classrooms: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 of Build a Thinking Classroom for K-12 will dig deeper into the 14 practices and effective implementation strategies\n\n\nBuilding Thinking Classrooms: Part 2 \nThis is not for novices or anyone new to BTC. You must be a K-12 educator or leader who has completed BTC: Part 1 OR you have read the book and are actively attempting to implement the first three toolkits. \nCome engage in a professional learning community to learn more about a thinking classroom and collaborate with peers to share ideas and implementation strategies. A thinking student is an engaged student! \nBuilt on 14 key practices teased out over 15 years of research\, it’s a way of teaching that gets students up on their feet\, collaborating and thinking through challenging problems on a daily basis. \nA thinking classroom looks very different from a typical classroom. Students are working in groups rather than individually\, they are standing rather than sitting\, and the furniture is arranged so as to defront the room. Closer inspection will reveal that the teacher is giving instructions verbally\, is answering fewer questions\, and has drastically altered the way they give “homework.” \nPart 2 focuses on the fine tuning implementation of the first eleven practices and delving into the assessment practices from the following chapters: \nChapter 12: What We Choose to Evaluate in a Thinking Classroom \nChapter 13: How We Use Formative Assessment in a Thinking Classroom \nChapter 14: How We Grade in a Thinking Classroom \nAll participants are expected to bring their own copy of Building Thinking Classroom In Mathematics\, 14 Teaching Practices for Enhanced Learning. \nAudience: K-12 educators and leaders who have completed BTC: Part 1 OR you have read the book and are actively attempting to implement the first three toolkits. \nWhen: February 7\, March 5\, 2025\, April 1\, 2025 \nPrice: $450/participant; Administrators may attend with the teacher(s) from their district/building at no additional cost. \nLocation: Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 E. Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nAct 48 hours will be awarded pending approval by PDE for those who attend all sessions and complete related assignments. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to learn and grow!
