Teachers will learn about communication and setting up positive classroom dynamics. 

They will also conduct a Needs and Strengths Assessment for their classroom. 

This assessment will be utilized by teachers to determine what next steps to take in their own learning process to support all learners.

Teachers will learn how to analyze their Strengths and Needs Assessment results, and will take time to plan lessons for all students.

Participating teachers will learn more about disabilities in the classroom, and how these disabilities should be taken into account when planning lessons.

Teachers will delve into their students' needs and behaviors more deeply in this module - learning what makes their students do what they do, and how they can organize the classroom and respond to behaviors in ways that increase success and decrease problem behavior in the classroom.

Teachers will learn proactive strategies to teach positive behavior, increase self-regulation, and support all kids in being their best selves.  

Teachers will practice in hands-on ways, think through specific case studies, and give each other feedback on targeted skills. Teachers will make a specific plan for students in their room who need extra support.

Teachers will learn key differences between making modifications versus making accommodations in their classrooms.

Teachers will use students in their classrooms as case studies for identifying, designing and evaluating specific curricular strategies for modification and accommodation.  These strategies can be implemented immediately in order to support specific students in need.

Teachers will review, synthesize and create "next step" projects for themselves and their teaching teams.  

Specific student needs as well as classroom-wide challenges will be further addressed and plans will be made about supporting teachers and students alike in the future.
