Why It Matters

Three-quarters of both 12th and 8th graders lack proficiency in writing, according to the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP, 2017). Writing is a critical skill for our students’ self-expression and self-actualization. We know from decades of research how students learn to write and what and how to teach so that the majority of our students can be successful.

This is copied directly from the website:  "In this informative session, Georgia’s Suicide and Crisis Response team presenters from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities share how schools can utilize the three prongs of Georgia’s 988: someone to call, someone to respond, and a safe place for help, to support students and families with mental health needs. Common myths are addressed and participants are equipped with confidence in utilizing the service and spreading awareness. A recent Georgia study revealed only 30% of Georgians were aware of 988 and of those respondents, only 54% accurately understood its purpose as Georgia’s Suicide & Crisis Response line. View this recording to see current data and future goals for 988 implementation and response."  (1 hour)

Topic: Classroom Management for Disruptive Behaviors. This presentation goes through many of the disruptive behaviors that can derail learning in the classroom and shares evidence-based interventions you can use.

This presentation will focus on the variety of behaviors that show up in the classroom when teaching 4-7-year-old students. We are seeing more and more behaviors with this age group that typical interventions are not accomplishing the goal of decreasing the disruptions in the classroom.  Dr. Riffel will share scenarios from real students around the world and the interventions employed that really worked ameliorate these behaviors.

This class is limited to participants from Heart of Georgia RESA member systems.
