Dyscalculia: Brain Science, Characteristics, and Strategies that Work & An In-Depth Look at the Best Math Practices
@Carlinville ROE Safe School
In the morning the presentation will explore the brain science behind dyscalculia. We will talk about attributes of students that have dyscalculia, and we will discuss the multi-modal techniques that work best for these students. Participants will be given basic free screeners that can help teachers to identify areas of student weakness, and participants will be empowered with instructional practices that can meet the needs of students with specific learning disabilities. After lunch the workshop will examine evidence based math practices that work and explain why they are successful while detailing how to make implementation stick. We will discuss how to deliver high quality explicit instruction to students, use engaging concrete models, and describe the impact that regular number line usage can make in elementary and middle school classrooms. All materials and information is meant to benefit students with specific learning disabilities such as dyscalculia but can benefit all learners.

Teaching American History - The First Three Presidents
@ Carlinville ROE - FREE FOR EVERYONE
The presidencies of George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson established precedents and dealt with issues of executive power. This seminar will examine documents from the Washington, Adams and Jefferson administrations including topics like the Alien and Sedition Acts and the Louisiana Purchase. This program will be conducted as a discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions.

TeachIllinois is a 100% online, center for educator professional development. Educators can either self-register, or districts can bulk register their staffs. Upon completion of the material, learners will complete the ISBE Seminar Evaluation Form, after which, the official ISBE Evidence of Completion form will be made available. All e-learning courses are currently free, although in the near future TeachIllinois will start charging a nominal, per-PD-hour fee. New content is added every month, and we welcome suggestions for future courses. Our e-learning platform is robust enough that a PD provider (such as a District) could subscribe and create their own ‘channel’.
For questions, please contact Matt Weld, Director of Learning Technology for Area 5: mweld@roe40.com |
