Designed to help educators and administrators provide effective, research-based interim support for students suspected of or identified with dyslexia. This course will cover strategies for delivering targeted instruction, accommodations, and progress monitoring while awaiting evidence-based dyslexia interventions. Participants will learn how to implement evidence-based practices that address reading challenges and ensure continuity of support in compliance with IDEA and Texas Dyslexia Handbook guidelines. The focus is on equipping educators with practical tools to meet student needs and promote academic success during the interim period.
Provides participants with a firsthand experience of the challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia. Through carefully designed simulations, attendees will engage in activities that replicate difficulties in reading, writing, processing, and comprehension. The session aims to foster empathy, deepen understanding of dyslexia’s impact, and highlight the importance of evidence-based interventions and accommodations in educational settings.
Explores the key differences between positive reinforcement and negative punishment as tools for behavior management. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how these strategies influence behavior, when to apply them, and their impact on student motivation and emotional well-being. Through real-world examples, interactive discussions, and practical activities, attendees will learn how to implement these techniques effectively to create a supportive and structured learning environment.
