SUMMARY:Get Your Hands-On FUN and Meaningful Assessment (Elementary)
DESCRIPTION:  \nFree transformED Educator Workshop\nUncover how to capture real-time learning & transform assessments into interactive experiences at our hands-on workshop at Children’s Museum\nNothing engages students like hands-on learning and play\, but what happens when the fun is over and it’s time to finish the project or assess how much students learned? \nThis workshop at Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh starts by exploring the learning that is actually happening as students tinker\, explore\, and create regardless of the actual product created. We then dive into strategies for capturing that learning in real time\, reducing or even eliminating the need for additional assessment. We close by looking at curriculum-based materials and assessments to explore strategies for transforming them into interactive experiences that reveal so much more than just right answers. \n*Note: Complimentary parking information will be provided to registrants prior to the event. \nBackground | Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh has once again been voted as the #2 children’s museum in the nation by USA Today’s “10Best” Readers’ Choice Contest.

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.

SUMMARY:Peer-Mediated Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Implementing behavior supports for students requires matching interventions to the function of a student’s behavior. In many cases\, students are motivated by connection to their peers more than connection to adults. Join us for a session that focuses on how peers can be involved in interventions that lead to positive behavioral outcomes. This session is perfect for those who have behavior interventions at the tier 2 and 3 level in place but want to consider adding a peer component to those interventions.
