Engaging Every Learner: Strategies for Boosting Student Attendance
Friday March 7, 2025 10:20am - 11:00am CST
This professional development workshop equips educators with effective strategies to enhance student attendance through a multifaceted approach. 
 
Participants will explore targeted small-group interventions designed to identify and support at-risk students, fostering a sense of belonging and accountability. 
 
This initiative includes using "STAR Students", where exemplary students—those who demonstrate being Studious, Thoughtful, Accountable, and Responsible and have perfect attendance for the week—are recognized weekly, inspiring their peers to engage actively in their education.  
 
Morning assemblies are utilized as a platform to promote school spirit, celebrate STAR Students, and communicate the importance of community. 
 
Furthermore, educators will learn how families are connected with outside services, ensuring students receive the necessary support to attend school regularly. Emphasis will be placed on cultivating a positive school community where every student feels valued and motivated to participate fully in their learning journey as well as the use of the Attendance Care Team to support chronic absenteeism.

Finishing Well
Friday March 7, 2025 10:20am - 11:00am CST
As retirement age approaches, a teacher’s focus changes from building a career to finishing well. This session will be a conversation about what the “veteran generation” uniquely has to offer.. We may have less energy and tech savvy than our younger peers (speaking for myself), but we bring a different perspective about dealing with parents, balancing home and career, supporting students, and other challenges in education. This will be a positive conversation, focusing on the legacy we want to leave for the students, staff and profession we love.

Help, I don't know how to use Assistive Technology!
Friday March 7, 2025 1:20pm - 2:00pm CST
This session will provide an overview of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and its uses in the classroom setting.  The presenters are Speech-Language Pathologists who want to partner with you to provide the best communication possible between you and your students.   If you have ever thought, "I have a student in my classroom has an AAC device, but I'm not sure of my role", then this course is for you!  All teachers know that just because a student may be nonverbal, he or she still has lots to say.  


Objectives of the course:
1.  Participants will leave with a clear understanding of what AAC includes from "low tech" to "high tech".  
2.  Participants will understand their role in recommending, trialing, and using obtained AAC in the classroom whether it be in regular or special education settings.
3.  Participants will understand why AAC is important for expressing basic wants and needs, social interactions with peers, comment in class, answer questions, and access the curriculum.  


This course makes AAC use easy!  You will learn to help your students with AAC without a lot of extra work.  Although each type of AAC is different, you will walk away with confidence that you can implement AAC use immediately!
