         The Roadmap to Adolescent Literacy:  Guiding California Readers on the

    Journey to Proficiency

    FREE Webinar

    September 27, 2023 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time Zone) 

    Description: 

    The ability to read at grade level is critical for adolescent students because literacy is fundamental to learning in all subject areas and to college and career readiness.

    Yet, NAEP scores indicate only 30% of California's eighth-grade students read proficiently.

    Join this webinar to hear California education leaders share successful strategic plans that increase reading proficiency and equitably support the diverse needs of adolescent learners.

    You'll gain new perspectives and insights on:

    • Increasing achievement for adolescent learners by developing every educators' knowledge in the science of reading
    • Engaging and motivating students by equipping teachers with age-appropriate instructional resources
    • Impacting adolescent reading comprehension by addressing connections between the science of reading and foundational literacy skill gaps
    • Improving proficiency for each adolescent reader by empowering teachers with data to identify skills gaps and individualize instruction

    Who Should Attend:

    Teachers, ELA/ELD's, Instructional Coaches and Leaders, Administrators, and District Leaders

    Featured Speakers:

    • Anita Williams:  Coordinator, Expanded Learning Opportunities Program, Hemet Unified School District
    • Lydia Tapia, Curriculum Specialist, Vineland School District
    • Kimberly Stockton:  Education Advisor, Education Partnerships, Lexia

         Dealing with

    THE EXPLOSIVE CHILD

    Collaborative & Proactive Solutions

    October 19, 2023 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time Zone) 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (Central Time Zone) 

    Description: 

    Learn to:

    • Change Your Lenses
    • Identify Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems
    • Solve Problems Collaboratively and Proactively

    Moving From Power and Control to Collaboration and Problem-Solving is the innovative, evidence-based, trauma-informed model Dr. Ross Greene describes in his influential books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising Using Beings. The CPS model has transformed thinking and practices in countless families, schools,
    inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities throughout the world, and has been associated with dramatic reductions in adult-child conflict, concerning behaviors, disciplinary referrals, detentions, suspensions, restraints, and seclusions. The model represents a significant departure from discipline-as-usual: it focuses on solving problems rather than on modifying behavior, emphasizes collaborative rather than unilateral solutions, encourages proactive rather than reactive intervention, de-emphasizes diagnostic categories, and provides practical, research-based tools for assessment and intervention. Participants in this 3-hour workshop will leave with an understanding of the underpinnings of the model and its practical assessment and intervention tools.

    At the conclusion of the seminar, participants will be able to:

    • Describe the five paradigm shifts of the CPS model, and how the model focuses on problems (and solving them) rather than on the behaviors that are being caused by those problems (and modifying them); the advantages of collaborative (rather than unilateral) problem solving; and the importance and feasibility of proactive (rather than reactive) intervention.
    • Identify the lagging skills that are involved in solving problems, handling frustration, being flexible and adaptable, and regulating emotions and the unsolved problems that are causing concerning behaviors
    • Describe the three basic mechanisms by which adults handle unsolved problems and unmet expectations in kids (Plans A, B, and C) and what is accomplished by each
    • Describe the three steps of Plan B
    • Describe how to effectively implement Plan B and the various roadblocks that can occur in implementation (and how to overcome them).

    Who Should Attend:
    Teachers, Counselors, Psychologists, Administrators, Parents

    Ross W. Greene, Ph.D. is the originator of Collaborative& Proactive Solutions (CPS), as described in his influential books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising Human Beings. Dr. Greene served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over 20 years, and is now the Founding Director of the non-profit Lives in the Balance (www.livesinthebalance.org), which aims to disseminate the CPS model and support caregivers through a vast array of free web-based resources; advocate on behalf of kids with concerning behaviors and their caregivers; and advocate for systemic changes to encourage the use of non-punitive, non-exclusionary interventions. He lectures and consults extensively with families, general and special education schools, inpatient psychiatric units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities throughout the world.
