Teacher v Student Behavior

Christine Canales
This session will highlight several positive behavior supports that teachers can implement in their classrooms to increase desired behaviors and decrease disruptive behaviors. Some strategies and tools that will be highlighted include the use of technology to incorporate brain breaks/movement breaks into instruction as well as a fun, online behavior application that allows for immediate parent communication.

English Language Learners and Technology Tools

Karen Callahan
How can we use technology as a scaffold to help our English Language students succeed? What are tools that can help my EL students have the same access to content? This session is about helping our ELs gain a grasp on the English language and helping them display their content understandings through technology.
