Topics:
The Paraprofessional:A Key To Student Sucess
The paraprofessional working in classrooms today plays a critical role in the development and success of our students. This workshop delivers key understandings and skills for effectiveness needed by the paraprofessional when working with students, teachers, and parents. This workshop gives strategies for effective interaction and communication, understanding and working with students' exceptionalities, teamwork, the paraprofessional's role and responsibilities, understanding confidentiality mandates, and implementing aspects of the individualized educational plan. Concepts of resources, registers of language, voices, and hidden rules from Ruby Payne's seminal work, A Framework for Understanding Poverty, are interwoven into this training.
Response to Intervention Workshop (RTI)
Learn about the what, the why, and the how of response to intervention (RtI) and the under-resourced learner. This session will cover student intervention teams, the rationale behind the RtI mandate, and the intervention process for student achievement. We will focus on the three tiers of intervention and the progress monitoring of student growth. This session will provide an overview of the training and support available from Dr. Payne’s consultants. All of the above are taught in conjunction with the book, Under-Resourced Learners by Ruby K. Payne.
A Framework for Understanding Poverty
Based on the book A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby Payne, Ph.D., provides an in-depth study of information and issues that will increase the participants' knowledge and understanding of the poverty culture. Topics include: how economic class effects behaviors and mindsets, why students from generational poverty often fear being educated, the "hidden rules" within economic classes, discipline interventions that improve behavior, and the eight resources that make a difference in success. Related discussions also include case studies, support systems, the role of language registers, discourse patterns, story structure, and the relationship between eye movement and learning. This seminar is designed for audiences of both elementary-and secondary-level educators with adaptation and application for community, social service and faith community audiences.
Framework for Understanding Economic Diversity
Do some students laugh when they are disciplined? Economic realities create ways of thinking and behaving. The closer one is to merely "surviving", the less time there is for the pursuit of learning. Hidden rules of behavior, language registers, resources, interventions, discipline, and creating relationships are the major topics to be discussed in understanding and successfully teaching children from generational poverty.
