Room 145
First grade will be looking at how to incorporate UFLI into their universal tier instruction for the 2025-2026 school year. This all came about as a result of improvement cycles this year since we have had some incredible data for our early literacy grade levels. Tiffin Elementary has been forging the path with this work. Their first grade teachers will help support teachers from other buildings in learning more. Instructional coaches will also support this work and will be available to help answer questions.

  1. Discuss the changes that are expected to happen between grades.
  2. We need to coordinate how these changes will be implemented and how to stop teaching and start teaching the new standards in the grades as needed.  
  3. Inventory our current supplies.
  4. Redistribute materials to the correct grade levels as needed.
  5. Begin looking at curriculums that are available because I am guessing FOSS will not be an option in the future.

Understanding behavior and response strategies - Secondary
Thursday June 5, 2025 10:05am - 12:00pm CDT
Room 110
Challenging student behaviors can disrupt learning. Understanding why behaviors occur is key to responding effectively. This session will focus on identifying the function of behavior—the "why" behind student actions—and using a continuum of responses to address unexpected behaviors in a way that supports learning and growth. Participants will explore the four primary functions of behavior, learn strategies to identify them in real-time, and practice applying a range of responses that maintain a positive classroom environment. By shifting from reactive discipline to purposeful intervention, educators can promote accountability while also supporting student needs.
