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.

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: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.
