Understanding Assessment Series, Day 1

Participants consider the following guiding questions:
– What is the purpose of assessment?
– How do you ensure the assessment design matches the intended use of the assessment information?

Join school nurses and experts for an in-depth discussion about best practices of five screenings — Scoliosis, Vision, Hearing, Dental, and Nutrition — that are commonly performed in the school setting. Presenters also cover completing the #3300 form required for school entry in Georgia.

Lead School Nurses with vast experience in establishing medication procedures and protocols in their own district focus on best practices for medication administration in the school setting.

Join us for this hands-on workshop that provides methods for adapting instruction that will make learning attainable for all learners. We will share resources and model inquiry-based strategies that are differentiated for all learners.
This is a K-12 workshop with customized examples for different grade bands.

Georgia’s Public Education Employee Assistance Program provides mental health counseling, financial and legal resources, and work/life referral services for all full-time, K-12 public-school teachers and staff in Georgia, along with Pre-K teachers. In this recorded webinar, Georgia Teacher of the Year Michael Kobito and representatives from GaDOE and Kepro provide an overview of EAP services and answer questions from teachers and staff.

To access the EAP, visit www.EAPHelpLink.com or dial 1-866-279-5177 and use code GADOE. Employees at the school or district level who work at least 29 hours per week are eligible, along with their household members and children under age 26.

This is part 1 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 1, History and Science and Values of Positive Behavior Support, will describe the importance of understanding the history and value of positive behavior support, explain behaviors are communicative and provide an initial understanding of function.

This is part 2 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 2 identifies the first three components required as part of every FBA process, provides a description of the difference between frequency and duration data collection.

This is part 3 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 3 identifies the necessary steps to collect baseline data, identifies the components included on the ABC data collection form and identifies the two guidelines for collecting ABC data.

This is part 4 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 4 provides a description of the components of FBA data and graphs, reviews antecedents/triggers/consequences/responses and developing hypothesis statements.

This is part 5 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 5 provides understanding of how to connect FBA results to the BIP, understanding about function-based prevention interventions and reviews completing components of Behavior Intervention Plan form.

This is part 6 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 6 provides understanding of how to select replacement behaviors according to FBA results, provides teaching strategies to promote replacement behaviors and offers reinforcement strategies to promote replacement behaviors.

This is part 7 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 7 reviews the critical components included in every BIP, identifies how to approach BIP implementation with fidelity and effectiveness and approaches to progress monitoring and data-based decision making.

This is part 8 of the FBA/BIP webinar series. This series will provide a description of the science and values underlying positive behavior supports, describe the different components of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP), and describe function-based interventions.

Part 8 reviews the FBA/BIP process from start to finish, provides resources related to behavior generalization, maintenance, improving academic performance and the relevance of Universal Design for Learning.

FY 23 Special Education and School Administrator Academy (SESAA): Special Education Law 101--The basic and most important aspects of the fast-changing world of special education law are discussed.

Presented by Dr. Tessie Bailey and MTSS Regional Coach Jody Drum, this session focuses on the use of validated tools for selecting and implementing evidenced-based interventions and how to leverage existing tools to support implementation of the essential MTSS components.

Presented by Georgia’s MTSS Regional Coaches Donna McClain and Becky Wright, this session of the Summer Learning Series focuses on the importance of having a master schedule that supports the needs of all students. Various ways to include intervention and support time in schedules, considerations for teacher schedules and the positive impact of collaboration, and next steps for improving schedules and services to support student needs are discussed.

Presented by Georgia’s MTSS team, this session of the MTSS Summer Learning Series focuses on freely available tools and resources on the Georgia’s Tiered System of Supports webpage and the National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) website. Also, Georgia’s Online MTSS/SST (GO MTSS/SST) Application is discussed. GaDOE provides this web-based tool to help districts maintain a record of students’ response to interventions. GO MTSS/SST is integrated with the Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) and is aligned to the Georgia Online IEP (GO-IEP) Application.

These materials use the writing standard for this grade and walk a teacher through the steps of looking at the writing standards, pre-assessment, the vocabulary necessary to understand the expectations, short writing exercises, longer writing exercises, and post-assessment.  A step-by-step process is followed with brief videos that may be used by the teacher or with a class. Rubrics are provided for assessing.  All materials center on the informative-explanatory genre.
