Applying Positive Behavior Supports to the Classroom for Paraprofessionals (January 18, 2022)In order to increase desired behaviors in the classroom, we must understand how to interpret student behavior and effectively use behavioral principles. This session defines commonly used behavioral terms and provides educators with practical tools to decrease behaviors perceived as challenging in the classroom | FORMS: |
Supporting Students During Functional Routines for Paraprofessionals (January 19, 2022)Routines are the activities we do all day long with students! This session covers the instructional strategies that can be used to pre-teach skills needed for students to successfully participate in classroom routines. We will review how prompting and reinforcement can support independence during routines, identify environmental and visual supports to prepare routine areas, and learn how to analyze data and use tools to make instructional decisions. | FORMS: |
Teaching Functional Communication for Paraprofessionals (January 20, 2022)Communication is a key skill students need to successfully engage in their school, home, and community environments. Students with disabilities often communicate in ways that are different than their neurotypical peers. It is up to the adults in the classroom to interpret behavior as meaningful communication and use evidence-based practices to build more functional communication skills. In this session, participants will learn how to build receptive and expressive language skills using tools from the STAR and Links programs. | FORMS: |
New Year, New Challenges: Classroom Management in 2022 for Teachers (January 19, 2022)This session covers the strategies needed for effective classroom management so that both students and staff are well-supported. Learn about the components of successful classroom environments, including consistent schedules, structured learning spaces, and environmental supports for students. This session will provide tools for teachers to use rotations to incorporate 1:1 teaching, small group instruction, and opportunities for students to increase independence in routines throughout the day. Scheduling tools, organizational ideas, and additional supports from the STAR and Links programs will be shared. | FORMS: |
Aligning IEPs with STAR, Links, and SOLS Tools for Teachers (January 20, 2022)This session explores the challenges that educators face with writing IEP goals that are matched to both lesson content and state standards. Participants will explore tools from the STAR Program and Links Curriculum that can be used to identify present levels, generate IEP goals, and develop effective systems for collecting and monitoring data. Sample IEP goals and alignment tools will be provided. | FORMS: |
Teaching Functional Communication (March 9, 2022)Communication is a key skill students need to successfully engage in their school, home, and community environments. Students with disabilities often communicate in ways that are different than their neurotypical peers.

In this session, participants will learn how to build receptive and expressive language skills using tools from the STAR and Links programs. | FORMS: |
Do With, Not For - Supporting Students During Routines (March 14, 2022)Routines are the activities we do all day long with students! How can we follow the “do with, not for” philosophy of teaching and include students during each step of daily routines? This session covers the instructional strategies that can be used to build skills needed for students to successfully participate in classroom routines. We will review how prompting and reinforcement can support independence during routines, identify environmental and visual supports to prepare routine areas, and learn other ways to set up students for success. | FORMS: |
Teaching STAR and Links Lessons Using Discrete Trial (March 17, 2022)This session covers the key components of using discrete trial (DT) to teach students new skills using lessons from the STAR Program and Links Curriculum. Participants will review lesson plans, Intro Procedures and Sequential Learning Steps, and data collection procedures. Video examples and practice opportunities will be provided. | FORMS: |
Creating an Effective Schedule Using STAR and Links Tools (September 29, 2022)This session reviews the importance of consistent daily schedules and how using rotations can help to effectively schedule STAR Program or Links Curriculum instruction, in addition to other lesson planning and IEP instruction in your classroom. Learn how to create effective schedules and set up your classroom for success using the “SIMPLE” method. Resources and examples are shared throughout the training. |
