    Beyond the Classroom: Technology to Support Student Learning at Home

    Presenter: Sean Smith, Ph.D.

    Professor, University of Kansas

    This webinar focuses on leveraging technology to strengthen school-family partnerships. We will explore how various digital tools and platforms can bridge school and home by aligning classroom goals with home-based support to provide individualized instruction and opportunities for independent practice. By utilizing these resources to support student needs at home, we can create a consistent learning environment that leads to improved student outcomes. This session emphasizes a broad range of user-friendly tools that help families feel confident and equipped to support their children's learning at home. Teachers will leave with a curated toolkit to help families navigate these technologies, fostering a collaborative approach to supporting students with disabilities.

    Three-part series, presented by DEBH Leaders, is focused on evidence-based practices to support and respond to classroom behavior.

    Session 1: Setting the Stage for Success: Establishing and Teaching Routines and Expectations
    This session is Part 1 of a three-part series on evidence-based practices to support and respond to classroom behavior. This session will introduce two strategies–  teaching expected classroom behaviors and precorrections. Participants will learn how to develop, model, and teach expected classroom behaviors for students and will build knowledge of effective steps for prompting student use of these skills over time. Tools to support teachers in implementation of these practices in their classrooms will be provided.

    Session 2: Proactive Strategies to Enhance Student Engagement
    This session is Part 2 of a three-part series on evidence-based practices to support and respond to classroom behavior. This session will introduce two strategies– opportunities to respond and instructional choice. Participants will learn to design instructional cues that prompt frequent student responses and will build knowledge of steps for providing instructional choice. Tools to support teachers in implementation of these practices in their classrooms will be provided.

    Session 3: Using Positive and Corrective Feedback to Support Classroom Behavior
    This session is Part 3 of a three-part series on evidence-based practices to support and respond to classroom behavior. This session will introduce two evidence-based classroom strategies– acknowledging behavior and behavior ratings. Participants will learn how to provide immediate, specific feedback that guides student behavior, supports learning, and promotes reflection and self-monitoring.Tools to support teachers in implementation of these practices in their classrooms will be provided.

    This two-part professional learning series, developed in partnership between the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), equips special educators with the knowledge and collaborative tools to better support students with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)—a highly prevalent but often under-identified learning difference.

    This two-part professional learning series, developed in partnership between the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), equips special educators with the knowledge and collaborative tools to better support students with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)—a highly prevalent but often under-identified learning difference. 

    In Part One, participants explore the foundations of DLD, how it differs from other language impairments, and how it intersects with reading disabilities, including dyslexia. Grounded in contemporary research and framed within models like the Simple View of Reading and Scarborough’s Reading Rope, this session builds a critical understanding of how oral language influences literacy and access to academic standards.

    In Part Two, participants apply this understanding through a collaborative lens. This session focuses on practical strategies for assessment, data interpretation, collaborative goal writing, and culturally responsive instruction. With case scenarios, planning tools, and interactive resources, learners will see how interdisciplinary collaboration can accelerate reading outcomes for students with a disability and ensure more effective, inclusive IEPs for students with DLD.

    Together, these courses create a coherent and practical learning experience for educators aiming to close achievement gaps for students with language-based learning needs.

    *MEMBERS ONLY* In this three-part virtual series, Dr. Tessie Bailey and Sara Evans dive into each of the three SDI instructional adaptations and share approaches for designing and delivering SDI adaptations across grade spans and areas of academic and functional need.

    The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) clarifies that specially designed instruction (SDI) means adapting the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to address the unique needs that result from the disability. But what does this look like in practice? In this three-part virtual series just for members, Dr. Tessie Bailey and Sara Evans dive into each of the three SDI instructional adaptations and share approaches for designing and delivering SDI adaptations across grade spans and areas of academic and functional need. Each interactive session will share practical approaches and resources to support implementation and offer a brief question and answer session. This series is designed for IEP Team members, educators responsible for the design and delivery of SDI, and special education administrators. It is a great opportunity for new and experienced educators interested in reviewing, refining, and reflecting on their current SDI practices. We know schedules are busy, but we hope attendees for this series will plan to participate in all three sessions.

    At the end of the 3-part SDI series, CEC members will be able to…
    • Describe the three elements of instruction that can be adapted for SDI under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
    • Use practical approaches to develop and implement SDI adaptations for students with disabilities.  
    • Access available resources to refine skills to effectively and efficiently implement SDI adaptations documented in the IEP.
