One-Day Consistency: Preschool/Elementary Implementing Evidence-Based Practices for In-Person Learning

This one-day workshop provides participants a review of how to implement the evidence-based instructional strategies identified by the National Standards Project (2009) using the curriculum content and lesson plans from the research-based STAR Program. The focus of the workshop is on fidelity of implementation of the evidence-based practices and use of data collection for instructional decision making. The workshop will engage participants in hands-on practice activities to become fluent in the instructional strategies of discrete trial training, pivotal response training and teaching functional routines as described in the STAR Program. Participants will also be provided with detailed handouts to assist them to obtain fidelity of implementation in their school programs. Participants at this workshop should have attended the two or three day STAR comprehensive workshop or be very familiar with the implementation of the strategies included in the STAR Program.

    Mini-Series Sessions: Preschool/Elementary Implementing Evidence-Based Practices for In-Person Learning

    STAR Mini-trainings are designed to provide more advanced information and practical application of the evidence-based practices used in the STAR Program. Mini-trainings include one hour of instructional content and can include a Q and A session at the end, so that participants leave with more knowledge and practical ideas on how to implement the STAR Program effectively with all students. These sessions can include all educators including classroom teachers, paraprofessionals, and support staff. Some sessions can be provided for paraprofessionals only to include training specific to thier role.

    Social Learning and Emotional Regulation (SOLER) Workshop for Virtual Learning

    This one-day workshop provides participants with examples and practice activities to teach Social and Emotional Learning Skills (SEL) utilizing evidence-based practices identified in the National Standards Report (2015). Intended for educators of students in elementary and middle school, this workshop will guide participants using the Social Learning and Emotional Regulation (SOLER) curriculum. Participants will learn how to determine a student’s current level for each skill target and where to begin instruction. An online system will be demonstrated with hands-on practice opportunities. Participants will learn how to access and use structured lesson plans alongside a curriculum scope and sequence to teach SEL skills. In addition, participants will be presented with strategies for using evidence-based practices like social narratives, role-play, peer-based instruction, video modeling, and self-monitoring. The workshop will include extensive data collection systems so participants can feel confident measuring progress both during the social skills group and during generalization of skills in natural settings.
