SUMMARY:Canva for Real Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:Canva is more than a design tool — it can become a complete classroom workflow system that saves teachers time\, improves organization\, and creates a more cohesive learning experience for students. In this hands-on session\, participants will explore practical ways to use Canva for real classroom teaching\, beyond isolated worksheets or decorative materials.“Canva for Real Classrooms” demonstrates how printed student workbooks\, classroom presentations\, daily agendas\, instructional slides\, and activities can be streamlined into one connected visual system. Participants will learn how consistent layouts\, visual cues\, icons\, color palettes\, and reusable templates can reduce student confusion while making lesson preparation faster and more efficient.The session begins with examples from real classroom implementation and ideas inspired by the Canva Create 2026 conference. Participants will then engage in guided creation time\, building components of a mini-unit in Canva\, including a student activity page and matching presentation slides using reusable design elements and classroom-friendly visual strategies.During independent creation time\, teachers will adapt these techniques to their own subjects and grade levels. Participants will leave with practical Canva skills\, reusable workflows\, time-saving strategies\, and free classroom-ready templates they can immediately use in their own teaching.

SUMMARY:Small Steps\, Big Readers: Building Literacy Every Day
DESCRIPTION:Building a strong foundation in literacy requires a well-thought-out roadmap grounded in evidence-based practices\, explicit instruction\, consistency\, and meaningful engagement with language. As educators\, it is essential that we create daily opportunities for students to make connections between letters\, sounds\, words\, and meaning. Through intentional teaching and structured literacy experiences\, students develop the foundational skills necessary for long-term reading success.Our goal is to support students in mastering phonological awareness\, language acquisition\, reading fluency\, and reading comprehension while building confidence as communicators and learners. Effective literacy instruction goes beyond teaching students how to read\; it helps them understand language\, think critically\, express ideas clearly\, and engage with the world around them.Within both classroom and resource settings\, small daily habits can have a powerful impact on literacy growth. Reading aloud\, engaging in meaningful conversations\, exploring sounds and vocabulary\, and providing regular opportunities for writing all contribute to stronger literacy development over time. When these practices are implemented consistently and intentionally\, students are better equipped to become confident\, capable\, and lifelong readers.Together\, we will explore practical\, evidence-based strategies that help students build strong literacy foundations\, develop confidence\, and become successful\, engaged readers and writers from the very start.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk: Understanding Language Disorders in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:\nLet’s talk about your students who struggle to follow verbal instructions\, who have trouble finding their words\, and who can't seem to retell a simple story. These might be your students who are often frustrated or exhibit challenging behaviour in class. Some of these students may be affected by Developmental Language Disorder\, or DLD\, which affects roughly 1 in 14 children — likely two or three kids in every classroom — yet it remains one of the least recognized conditions in schools.\n\nLanguage matters more than you might think. Every subject you teach — reading\, writing\, math\, even gym class — relies on language. Instructions\, explanations\, discussions\, and peer interactions are all part of a student’s day-to-day life\, which means a hidden language disorder touches every part of a child's school day.\n\nIn this presentation\, we'll go over typical language development before taking a closer look at Developmental Language Disorders. We’ll talk about what a student with DLD really looks like in your classroom\, using examples and case discussions. You'll walk away with a better understanding of what DLD is\, how it shows up in your students\, and what you can do to support them. Because for many of these students\, the right support starts with the right understanding.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Using Visuals to Support Every Learner (Without the Stress!)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description:\n\nIn an educational landscape where communication takes many forms\, visual supports are not just accommodations—they are universal tools for success. Grounded in current best practices and deeply informed by neurodivergent perspectives\, this practical workshop reframes how we view and implement visuals to support every learner in the classroom.\n\nWhat We Will Explore\n\nUnderstanding Non-Speaking Students: Shift from a deficit model to an inclusive mindset by exploring the diverse reasons why some students are non-speaking or rely on various methods of non-verbal communication.\n\nDiverse Communication Styles: Examine how information is processed and shared\, honoring the unique communication styles of neurodivergent learners.\n\nThe Universal Language of Visuals: Realize just how much we all rely on visual cues in our own daily lives (from traffic signs to smartphone icons) and how to bridge that familiarity into the classroom.\n\nPractical Visual Toolkits: Move beyond theory with a concrete introduction to different types of visuals—such as schedules\, choice boards\, and environmental cues—along with step-by-step strategies on how to create and implement them effortlessly.\n\nWhat You Will Take Away\n\nYou don't need a background in graphic design or endless free time to make your environment more accessible. Attendees will leave this session with an actionable understanding of how to build preventative\, visual supports that reduce anxiety and foster independence.\n\nTo ensure your success long after the workshop ends\, all participants will receive a &nbsp\;package of extra resources\, ready-to-use templates\, and evidence-based guides to support your daily practice. Let's demystify visual supports together and make communication and learning accessible for everyone.

SUMMARY:The Power Within: Self-Management in Adult SEL Through the CASEL Lens.
DESCRIPTION:This professional development presentation explores adult Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the Collaborative for Academic\, Social\, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework\, with a particular focus on self-management. The session will begin by outlining CASEL's definition of SEL and its five core competencies (the CASEL 5): self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, relationship skills\, and responsible decision-making. Building on this overview\, the presentation narrows its focus to self-management for both elementary and high school teachers. Strong self-management helps us respond effectively to challenges by allowing us to pause before reacting to a situation\, regulate our impulses\, thoughtfully consider our options\, and make intentional choices. Participants will dive deeper into self-management through practical activities and collaborative discussions.

SUMMARY:When Diagnoses Collide: What Do We Prioritize First in the Classroom?
DESCRIPTION:Students with co-occurring diagnoses often present with complex academic\, behavioural\, emotional\, sensory\, and social needs\, making it difficult for teachers to know what to prioritize in the classroom. This professional development session will help teachers move beyond a diagnosis-first approach and use a practical\, evidence-based framework to&nbsp\;identify&nbsp\;students’ most immediate needs\, including safety\, regulation\, access to learning\, communication\, and skill-building. Participants will learn how to interpret behaviour through a needs-based lens\, select&nbsp\;appropriate classroom&nbsp\;supports\, and respond in ways that are proactive\, compassionate\, and focused on helping students&nbsp\;participate&nbsp\;meaningfully and build independence.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Wiring\, Not Willfulness: Early Intervention for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
DESCRIPTION:When a five-year-old flips a chair during center time\, or a seven-year-old flatly refuses to line up for recess\, it is easy to feel like you are locked in a deliberate power struggle. But in the early elementary classroom\, what looks like a bad attitude is usually a reflection of brain architecture\, not a personal attack on your lesson plan.\nWiring\, Not Willfulness reframes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) specifically through an early intervention educational lens. Designed for teachers\, this session moves past traditional\, punitive disciplinary models\, which often inadvertently escalate behaviours in young learners\, to explore how early\, school-based interventions can rewrite a student's trajectory. Instead of trying to break a challenging behaviour through sheer force of will\, you will learn how to decode the neurodevelopmental "wiring" driving the defiance and intervene before negative school patterns become permanent.\n\nPerfect for kindergarten through early elementary teachers looking to trade classroom frustration for effective\, evidence-based engagement strategies.

SUMMARY:Small Steps\, Big Readers: Building Literacy Every Day
DESCRIPTION:Building a strong foundation in literacy requires a well-thought-out roadmap grounded in evidence-based practices\, explicit instruction\, consistency\, and meaningful engagement with language. As educators\, it is essential that we create daily opportunities for students to make connections between letters\, sounds\, words\, and meaning. Through intentional teaching and structured literacy experiences\, students develop the foundational skills necessary for long-term reading success.Our goal is to support students in mastering phonological awareness\, language acquisition\, reading fluency\, and reading comprehension while building confidence as communicators and learners. Effective literacy instruction goes beyond teaching students how to read\; it helps them understand language\, think critically\, express ideas clearly\, and engage with the world around them.Within both classroom and resource settings\, small daily habits can have a powerful impact on literacy growth. Reading aloud\, engaging in meaningful conversations\, exploring sounds and vocabulary\, and providing regular opportunities for writing all contribute to stronger literacy development over time. When these practices are implemented consistently and intentionally\, students are better equipped to become confident\, capable\, and lifelong readers.Together\, we will explore practical\, evidence-based strategies that help students build strong literacy foundations\, develop confidence\, and become successful\, engaged readers and writers from the very start.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk: Understanding Language Disorders in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:\nLet’s talk about your students who struggle to follow verbal instructions\, who have trouble finding their words\, and who can't seem to retell a simple story. These might be your students who are often frustrated or exhibit challenging behaviour in class. Some of these students may be affected by Developmental Language Disorder\, or DLD\, which affects roughly 1 in 14 children — likely two or three kids in every classroom — yet it remains one of the least recognized conditions in schools.\n\nLanguage matters more than you might think. Every subject you teach — reading\, writing\, math\, even gym class — relies on language. Instructions\, explanations\, discussions\, and peer interactions are all part of a student’s day-to-day life\, which means a hidden language disorder touches every part of a child's school day.\n\nIn this presentation\, we'll go over typical language development before taking a closer look at Developmental Language Disorders. We’ll talk about what a student with DLD really looks like in your classroom\, using examples and case discussions. You'll walk away with a better understanding of what DLD is\, how it shows up in your students\, and what you can do to support them. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Using Visuals to Support Every Learner (Without the Stress!)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description:\n\nIn an educational landscape where communication takes many forms\, visual supports are not just accommodations—they are universal tools for success. Grounded in current best practices and deeply informed by neurodivergent perspectives\, this practical workshop reframes how we view and implement visuals to support every learner in the classroom.\n\nWhat We Will Explore\n\nUnderstanding Non-Speaking Students: Shift from a deficit model to an inclusive mindset by exploring the diverse reasons why some students are non-speaking or rely on various methods of non-verbal communication.\n\nDiverse Communication Styles: Examine how information is processed and shared\, honoring the unique communication styles of neurodivergent learners.\n\nThe Universal Language of Visuals: Realize just how much we all rely on visual cues in our own daily lives (from traffic signs to smartphone icons) and how to bridge that familiarity into the classroom.\n\nPractical Visual Toolkits: Move beyond theory with a concrete introduction to different types of visuals—such as schedules\, choice boards\, and environmental cues—along with step-by-step strategies on how to create and implement them effortlessly.\n\nWhat You Will Take Away\n\nYou don't need a background in graphic design or endless free time to make your environment more accessible. Attendees will leave this session with an actionable understanding of how to build preventative\, visual supports that reduce anxiety and foster independence.\n\nTo ensure your success long after the workshop ends\, all participants will receive a &nbsp\;package of extra resources\, ready-to-use templates\, and evidence-based guides to support your daily practice. Let's demystify visual supports together and make communication and learning accessible for everyone.

SUMMARY:The Power Within: Self-Management in Adult SEL Through the CASEL Lens.
DESCRIPTION:This professional development presentation explores adult Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the Collaborative for Academic\, Social\, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework\, with a particular focus on self-management. The session will begin by outlining CASEL's definition of SEL and its five core competencies (the CASEL 5): self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, relationship skills\, and responsible decision-making. Building on this overview\, the presentation narrows its focus to adult self-management (the ability to manage our emotions\, thoughts and actions when working toward&nbsp\;an objective/goal) for both elementary and high school teachers. Strong self-management helps us respond effectively to challenges by allowing us to pause before reacting to a situation\, regulate our impulses\, thoughtfully consider our options\, and make intentional choices. Participants will dive deeper into self-management through practical activities and collaborative discussions.

SUMMARY:Wiring\, Not Willfulness: Early Intervention for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
DESCRIPTION:When a five-year-old flips a chair during center time\, or a seven-year-old flatly refuses to line up for recess\, it is easy to feel like you are locked in a deliberate power struggle. But in the early elementary classroom\, what looks like a bad attitude is usually a reflection of brain architecture\, not a personal attack on your lesson plan.\nWiring\, Not Willfulness reframes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) specifically through an early intervention educational lens. Designed for teachers\, this session moves past traditional\, punitive disciplinary models\, which often inadvertently escalate behaviours in young learners\, to explore how early\, school-based interventions can rewrite a student's trajectory. Instead of trying to break a challenging behaviour through sheer force of will\, you will learn how to decode the neurodevelopmental "wiring" driving the defiance and intervene before negative school patterns become permanent.\n\nPerfect for kindergarten through early elementary teachers looking to trade classroom frustration for effective\, evidence-based engagement strategies.

SUMMARY:Small Steps\, Big Readers: Building Literacy Every Day
DESCRIPTION:Building a strong foundation in literacy requires a well-thought-out roadmap grounded in evidence-based practices\, explicit instruction\, consistency\, and meaningful engagement with language. As educators\, it is essential that we create daily opportunities for students to make connections between letters\, sounds\, words\, and meaning. Through intentional teaching and structured literacy experiences\, students develop the foundational skills necessary for long-term reading success.Our goal is to support students in mastering phonological awareness\, language acquisition\, reading fluency\, and reading comprehension while building confidence as communicators and learners. Effective literacy instruction goes beyond teaching students how to read\; it helps them understand language\, think critically\, express ideas clearly\, and engage with the world around them.Within both classroom and resource settings\, small daily habits can have a powerful impact on literacy growth. Reading aloud\, engaging in meaningful conversations\, exploring sounds and vocabulary\, and providing regular opportunities for writing all contribute to stronger literacy development over time. When these practices are implemented consistently and intentionally\, students are better equipped to become confident\, capable\, and lifelong readers.Together\, we will explore practical\, evidence-based strategies that help students build strong literacy foundations\, develop confidence\, and become successful\, engaged readers and writers from the very start.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk: Understanding Language Disorders in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:\nLet’s talk about your students who struggle to follow verbal instructions\, who have trouble finding their words\, and who can't seem to retell a simple story. These might be your students who are often frustrated or exhibit challenging behaviour in class. Some of these students may be affected by Developmental Language Disorder\, or DLD\, which affects roughly 1 in 14 children — likely two or three kids in every classroom — yet it remains one of the least recognized conditions in schools.\n\nLanguage matters more than you might think. Every subject you teach — reading\, writing\, math\, even gym class — relies on language. Instructions\, explanations\, discussions\, and peer interactions are all part of a student’s day-to-day life\, which means a hidden language disorder touches every part of a child's school day.\n\nIn this presentation\, we'll go over typical language development before taking a closer look at Developmental Language Disorders. We’ll talk about what a student with DLD really looks like in your classroom\, using examples and case discussions. You'll walk away with a better understanding of what DLD is\, how it shows up in your students\, and what you can do to support them. Because for many of these students\, the right support starts with the right understanding.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Using Visuals to Support Every Learner (Without the Stress!)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description:\n\nIn an educational landscape where communication takes many forms\, visual supports are not just accommodations—they are universal tools for success. Grounded in current best practices and deeply informed by neurodivergent perspectives\, this practical workshop reframes how we view and implement visuals to support every learner in the classroom.\n\nWhat We Will Explore\n\nUnderstanding Non-Speaking Students: Shift from a deficit model to an inclusive mindset by exploring the diverse reasons why some students are non-speaking or rely on various methods of non-verbal communication.\n\nDiverse Communication Styles: Examine how information is processed and shared\, honoring the unique communication styles of neurodivergent learners.\n\nThe Universal Language of Visuals: Realize just how much we all rely on visual cues in our own daily lives (from traffic signs to smartphone icons) and how to bridge that familiarity into the classroom.\n\nPractical Visual Toolkits: Move beyond theory with a concrete introduction to different types of visuals—such as schedules\, choice boards\, and environmental cues—along with step-by-step strategies on how to create and implement them effortlessly.\n\nWhat You Will Take Away\n\nYou don't need a background in graphic design or endless free time to make your environment more accessible. Attendees will leave this session with an actionable understanding of how to build preventative\, visual supports that reduce anxiety and foster independence.\n\nTo ensure your success long after the workshop ends\, all participants will receive a &nbsp\;package of extra resources\, ready-to-use templates\, and evidence-based guides to support your daily practice. Let's demystify visual supports together and make communication and learning accessible for everyone.

SUMMARY:The Power Within: Self-Management in Adult SEL Through the CASEL Lens.
DESCRIPTION:This professional development presentation explores adult Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the Collaborative for Academic\, Social\, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework\, with a particular focus on self-management. The session will begin by outlining CASEL's definition of SEL and its five core competencies (the CASEL 5): self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, relationship skills\, and responsible decision-making. Building on this overview\, the presentation narrows its focus to adult self-management (the ability to manage our emotions\, thoughts and actions when working toward&nbsp\;an objective/goal) for both elementary and high school teachers. Strong self-management helps us respond effectively to challenges by allowing us to pause before reacting to a situation\, regulate our impulses\, thoughtfully consider our options\, and make intentional choices. Participants will dive deeper into self-management through practical activities and collaborative discussions.

SUMMARY:When Diagnoses Collide: What Do We Prioritize First in the Classroom?
DESCRIPTION:Students with co-occurring diagnoses often present with complex academic\, behavioural\, emotional\, sensory\, and social needs\, making it difficult for teachers to know what to prioritize in the classroom. This professional development session will help teachers move beyond a diagnosis-first approach and use a practical\, evidence-based framework to&nbsp\;identify&nbsp\;students’ most immediate needs\, including safety\, regulation\, access to learning\, communication\, and skill-building. Participants will learn how to interpret behaviour through a needs-based lens\, select&nbsp\;appropriate classroom&nbsp\;supports\, and respond in ways that are proactive\, compassionate\, and focused on helping students&nbsp\;participate&nbsp\;meaningfully and build independence.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Wiring\, Not Willfulness: Early Intervention for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
DESCRIPTION:When a five-year-old flips a chair during center time\, or a seven-year-old flatly refuses to line up for recess\, it is easy to feel like you are locked in a deliberate power struggle. But in the early elementary classroom\, what looks like a bad attitude is usually a reflection of brain architecture\, not a personal attack on your lesson plan.\nWiring\, Not Willfulness reframes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) specifically through an early intervention educational lens. Designed for teachers\, this session moves past traditional\, punitive disciplinary models\, which often inadvertently escalate behaviours in young learners\, to explore how early\, school-based interventions can rewrite a student's trajectory. Instead of trying to break a challenging behaviour through sheer force of will\, you will learn how to decode the neurodevelopmental "wiring" driving the defiance and intervene before negative school patterns become permanent.\n\nPerfect for kindergarten through early elementary teachers looking to trade classroom frustration for effective\, evidence-based engagement strategies.

SUMMARY:Small Steps\, Big Readers: Building Literacy Every Day
DESCRIPTION:Building a strong foundation in literacy requires a well-thought-out roadmap grounded in evidence-based practices\, explicit instruction\, consistency\, and meaningful engagement with language. As educators\, it is essential that we create daily opportunities for students to make connections between letters\, sounds\, words\, and meaning. Through intentional teaching and structured literacy experiences\, students develop the foundational skills necessary for long-term reading success.Our goal is to support students in mastering phonological awareness\, language acquisition\, reading fluency\, and reading comprehension while building confidence as communicators and learners. Effective literacy instruction goes beyond teaching students how to read\; it helps them understand language\, think critically\, express ideas clearly\, and engage with the world around them.Within both classroom and resource settings\, small daily habits can have a powerful impact on literacy growth. Reading aloud\, engaging in meaningful conversations\, exploring sounds and vocabulary\, and providing regular opportunities for writing all contribute to stronger literacy development over time. When these practices are implemented consistently and intentionally\, students are better equipped to become confident\, capable\, and lifelong readers.Together\, we will explore practical\, evidence-based strategies that help students build strong literacy foundations\, develop confidence\, and become successful\, engaged readers and writers from the very start.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk: Understanding Language Disorders in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:\nLet’s talk about your students who struggle to follow verbal instructions\, who have trouble finding their words\, and who can't seem to retell a simple story. These might be your students who are often frustrated or exhibit challenging behaviour in class. Some of these students may be affected by Developmental Language Disorder\, or DLD\, which affects roughly 1 in 14 children — likely two or three kids in every classroom — yet it remains one of the least recognized conditions in schools.\n\nLanguage matters more than you might think. Every subject you teach — reading\, writing\, math\, even gym class — relies on language. Instructions\, explanations\, discussions\, and peer interactions are all part of a student’s day-to-day life\, which means a hidden language disorder touches every part of a child's school day.\n\nIn this presentation\, we'll go over typical language development before taking a closer look at Developmental Language Disorders. We’ll talk about what a student with DLD really looks like in your classroom\, using examples and case discussions. You'll walk away with a better understanding of what DLD is\, how it shows up in your students\, and what you can do to support them. Because for many of these students\, the right support starts with the right understanding.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Increasing Student Engagement in Social Studies using Historical Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Based on the Historical Thinking in Practice (HTIP) PD series\, this introductory session provides an overview of the 6 Historical Thinking concepts and explores practical strategies for increasing student engagement in social studies through inquiry-based learning. Participants will examine how incorporating historical thinking can foster critical thinking\, make history more meaningful\, and increase student engagement. They will also hear from an HTIP teacher participant about how historical thinking-based activities can be effectively integrated into the everyday classroom. Educators will leave with classroom-ready ideas and adaptable strategies to support engaging\, student-centered learning.&nbsp\;While this workshop is aimed primarily at high school teachers\, all educators are welcome.

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Using Visuals to Support Every Learner (Without the Stress!)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description:\n\nIn an educational landscape where communication takes many forms\, visual supports are not just accommodations—they are universal tools for success. Grounded in current best practices and deeply informed by neurodivergent perspectives\, this practical workshop reframes how we view and implement visuals to support every learner in the classroom.\n\nWhat We Will Explore\n\nUnderstanding Non-Speaking Students: Shift from a deficit model to an inclusive mindset by exploring the diverse reasons why some students are non-speaking or rely on various methods of non-verbal communication.\n\nDiverse Communication Styles: Examine how information is processed and shared\, honoring the unique communication styles of neurodivergent learners.\n\nThe Universal Language of Visuals: Realize just how much we all rely on visual cues in our own daily lives (from traffic signs to smartphone icons) and how to bridge that familiarity into the classroom.\n\nPractical Visual Toolkits: Move beyond theory with a concrete introduction to different types of visuals—such as schedules\, choice boards\, and environmental cues—along with step-by-step strategies on how to create and implement them effortlessly.\n\nWhat You Will Take Away\n\nYou don't need a background in graphic design or endless free time to make your environment more accessible. Attendees will leave this session with an actionable understanding of how to build preventative\, visual supports that reduce anxiety and foster independence.\n\nTo ensure your success long after the workshop ends\, all participants will receive a &nbsp\;package of extra resources\, ready-to-use templates\, and evidence-based guides to support your daily practice. Let's demystify visual supports together and make communication and learning accessible for everyone.

SUMMARY:The Power Within: Self-Management in Adult SEL Through the CASEL Lens.
DESCRIPTION:This professional development presentation explores adult Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the Collaborative for Academic\, Social\, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework\, with a particular focus on self-management. The session will begin by outlining CASEL's definition of SEL and its five core competencies (the CASEL 5): self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, relationship skills\, and responsible decision-making. Building on this overview\, the presentation narrows its focus to adult self-management (the ability to manage our emotions\, thoughts and actions when working toward&nbsp\;an objective/goal) for both elementary and high school teachers. Strong self-management helps us respond effectively to challenges by allowing us to pause before reacting to a situation\, regulate our impulses\, thoughtfully consider our options\, and make intentional choices. Participants will dive deeper into self-management through practical activities and collaborative discussions.

SUMMARY:Wiring\, Not Willfulness: Early Intervention for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
DESCRIPTION:When a five-year-old flips a chair during center time\, or a seven-year-old flatly refuses to line up for recess\, it is easy to feel like you are locked in a deliberate power struggle. But in the early elementary classroom\, what looks like a bad attitude is usually a reflection of brain architecture\, not a personal attack on your lesson plan.\nWiring\, Not Willfulness reframes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) specifically through an early intervention educational lens. Designed for teachers\, this session moves past traditional\, punitive disciplinary models\, which often inadvertently escalate behaviours in young learners\, to explore how early\, school-based interventions can rewrite a student's trajectory. Instead of trying to break a challenging behaviour through sheer force of will\, you will learn how to decode the neurodevelopmental "wiring" driving the defiance and intervene before negative school patterns become permanent.\n\nPerfect for kindergarten through early elementary teachers looking to trade classroom frustration for effective\, evidence-based engagement strategies.

SUMMARY:The Power of Adult Posture: Creating the Conditions for Children's Learning\, Engagement\, and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Children's development is shaped not only by what adults teach\, but by how adults show up in relationship with them each day. Through their presence\, responses\, and interactions\, educators create the emotional climate that influences children's sense of safety\, belonging\, behaviour\, engagement\, and capacity to learn. Drawing on developmental science\, attachment theory\, and practical classroom experiences\, participants will explore how adult posture influences children's behaviour\, emotional regulation\, sense of self\, and willingness to engage in learning. Through practical examples and guided reflection\, participants will discover how intentional\, relationship-based interactions can foster healthy development\, strengthen connections\, and create the conditions in which children can thrive.&nbsp\;This presentation is relevant to ALL STAFF at any grade level.

SUMMARY:Small Steps\, Big Readers: Building Literacy Every Day
DESCRIPTION:Building a strong foundation in literacy requires a well-thought-out roadmap grounded in evidence-based practices\, explicit instruction\, consistency\, and meaningful engagement with language. As educators\, it is essential that we create daily opportunities for students to make connections between letters\, sounds\, words\, and meaning. Through intentional teaching and structured literacy experiences\, students develop the foundational skills necessary for long-term reading success.Our goal is to support students in mastering phonological awareness\, language acquisition\, reading fluency\, and reading comprehension while building confidence as communicators and learners. Effective literacy instruction goes beyond teaching students how to read\; it helps them understand language\, think critically\, express ideas clearly\, and engage with the world around them.Within both classroom and resource settings\, small daily habits can have a powerful impact on literacy growth. Reading aloud\, engaging in meaningful conversations\, exploring sounds and vocabulary\, and providing regular opportunities for writing all contribute to stronger literacy development over time. When these practices are implemented consistently and intentionally\, students are better equipped to become confident\, capable\, and lifelong readers.Together\, we will explore practical\, evidence-based strategies that help students build strong literacy foundations\, develop confidence\, and become successful\, engaged readers and writers from the very start.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk: Understanding Language Disorders in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:\nLet’s talk about your students who struggle to follow verbal instructions\, who have trouble finding their words\, and who can't seem to retell a simple story. These might be your students who are often frustrated or exhibit challenging behaviour in class. Some of these students may be affected by Developmental Language Disorder\, or DLD\, which affects roughly 1 in 14 children — likely two or three kids in every classroom — yet it remains one of the least recognized conditions in schools.\n\nLanguage matters more than you might think. Every subject you teach — reading\, writing\, math\, even gym class — relies on language. Instructions\, explanations\, discussions\, and peer interactions are all part of a student’s day-to-day life\, which means a hidden language disorder touches every part of a child's school day.\n\nIn this presentation\, we'll go over typical language development before taking a closer look at Developmental Language Disorders. We’ll talk about what a student with DLD really looks like in your classroom\, using examples and case discussions. You'll walk away with a better understanding of what DLD is\, how it shows up in your students\, and what you can do to support them. Because for many of these students\, the right support starts with the right understanding.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Using Visuals to Support Every Learner (Without the Stress!)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description:\n\nIn an educational landscape where communication takes many forms\, visual supports are not just accommodations—they are universal tools for success. Grounded in current best practices and deeply informed by neurodivergent perspectives\, this practical workshop reframes how we view and implement visuals to support every learner in the classroom.\n\nWhat We Will Explore\n\nUnderstanding Non-Speaking Students: Shift from a deficit model to an inclusive mindset by exploring the diverse reasons why some students are non-speaking or rely on various methods of non-verbal communication.\n\nDiverse Communication Styles: Examine how information is processed and shared\, honoring the unique communication styles of neurodivergent learners.\n\nThe Universal Language of Visuals: Realize just how much we all rely on visual cues in our own daily lives (from traffic signs to smartphone icons) and how to bridge that familiarity into the classroom.\n\nPractical Visual Toolkits: Move beyond theory with a concrete introduction to different types of visuals—such as schedules\, choice boards\, and environmental cues—along with step-by-step strategies on how to create and implement them effortlessly.\n\nWhat You Will Take Away\n\nYou don't need a background in graphic design or endless free time to make your environment more accessible. Attendees will leave this session with an actionable understanding of how to build preventative\, visual supports that reduce anxiety and foster independence.\n\nTo ensure your success long after the workshop ends\, all participants will receive a &nbsp\;package of extra resources\, ready-to-use templates\, and evidence-based guides to support your daily practice. Let's demystify visual supports together and make communication and learning accessible for everyone.

SUMMARY:The Power Within: Self-Management in Adult SEL Through the CASEL Lens.
DESCRIPTION:This professional development presentation explores adult Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the Collaborative for Academic\, Social\, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework\, with a particular focus on self-management. The session will begin by outlining CASEL's definition of SEL and its five core competencies (the CASEL 5): self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, relationship skills\, and responsible decision-making. Building on this overview\, the presentation narrows its focus to adult self-management (the ability to manage our emotions\, thoughts and actions when working toward&nbsp\;an objective/goal) for both elementary and high school teachers. Strong self-management helps us respond effectively to challenges by allowing us to pause before reacting to a situation\, regulate our impulses\, thoughtfully consider our options\, and make intentional choices. Participants will dive deeper into self-management through practical activities and collaborative discussions.

SUMMARY:Wiring\, Not Willfulness: Early Intervention for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
DESCRIPTION:When a five-year-old flips a chair during center time\, or a seven-year-old flatly refuses to line up for recess\, it is easy to feel like you are locked in a deliberate power struggle. But in the early elementary classroom\, what looks like a bad attitude is usually a reflection of brain architecture\, not a personal attack on your lesson plan.\nWiring\, Not Willfulness reframes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) specifically through an early intervention educational lens. Designed for teachers\, this session moves past traditional\, punitive disciplinary models\, which often inadvertently escalate behaviours in young learners\, to explore how early\, school-based interventions can rewrite a student's trajectory. Instead of trying to break a challenging behaviour through sheer force of will\, you will learn how to decode the neurodevelopmental "wiring" driving the defiance and intervene before negative school patterns become permanent.\n\nPerfect for kindergarten through early elementary teachers looking to trade classroom frustration for effective\, evidence-based engagement strategies.

DESCRIPTION:Children's development is shaped not only by what adults teach\, but by how adults show up in relationship with them each day. Through their presence\, responses\, and interactions\, educators create the emotional climate that influences children's sense of safety\, belonging\, behaviour\, engagement\, and capacity to learn. Drawing on developmental science\, attachment theory\, and practical classroom experiences\, participants will explore how adult posture influences children's behaviour\, emotional regulation\, sense of self\, and willingness to engage in learning. Through practical examples and guided reflection\, participants will discover how intentional\, relationship-based interactions can foster healthy development\, strengthen connections\, and create the conditions in which children can thrive.&nbsp\;This presentation is relevant to ALL STAFF at any grade level.

SUMMARY:Small Steps\, Big Readers: Building Literacy Every Day
DESCRIPTION:Building a strong foundation in literacy requires a well-thought-out roadmap grounded in evidence-based practices\, explicit instruction\, consistency\, and meaningful engagement with language. As educators\, it is essential that we create daily opportunities for students to make connections between letters\, sounds\, words\, and meaning. Through intentional teaching and structured literacy experiences\, students develop the foundational skills necessary for long-term reading success.Our goal is to support students in mastering phonological awareness\, language acquisition\, reading fluency\, and reading comprehension while building confidence as communicators and learners. Effective literacy instruction goes beyond teaching students how to read\; it helps them understand language\, think critically\, express ideas clearly\, and engage with the world around them.Within both classroom and resource settings\, small daily habits can have a powerful impact on literacy growth. Reading aloud\, engaging in meaningful conversations\, exploring sounds and vocabulary\, and providing regular opportunities for writing all contribute to stronger literacy development over time. When these practices are implemented consistently and intentionally\, students are better equipped to become confident\, capable\, and lifelong readers.Together\, we will explore practical\, evidence-based strategies that help students build strong literacy foundations\, develop confidence\, and become successful\, engaged readers and writers from the very start.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk: Understanding Language Disorders in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:\nLet’s talk about your students who struggle to follow verbal instructions\, who have trouble finding their words\, and who can't seem to retell a simple story. These might be your students who are often frustrated or exhibit challenging behaviour in class. Some of these students may be affected by Developmental Language Disorder\, or DLD\, which affects roughly 1 in 14 children — likely two or three kids in every classroom — yet it remains one of the least recognized conditions in schools.\n\nLanguage matters more than you might think. Every subject you teach — reading\, writing\, math\, even gym class — relies on language. Instructions\, explanations\, discussions\, and peer interactions are all part of a student’s day-to-day life\, which means a hidden language disorder touches every part of a child's school day.\n\nIn this presentation\, we'll go over typical language development before taking a closer look at Developmental Language Disorders. We’ll talk about what a student with DLD really looks like in your classroom\, using examples and case discussions. You'll walk away with a better understanding of what DLD is\, how it shows up in your students\, and what you can do to support them. Because for many of these students\, the right support starts with the right understanding.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Beyond Words: Using Visuals to Support Every Learner (Without the Stress!)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description:\n\nIn an educational landscape where communication takes many forms\, visual supports are not just accommodations—they are universal tools for success. Grounded in current best practices and deeply informed by neurodivergent perspectives\, this practical workshop reframes how we view and implement visuals to support every learner in the classroom.\n\nWhat We Will Explore\n\nUnderstanding Non-Speaking Students: Shift from a deficit model to an inclusive mindset by exploring the diverse reasons why some students are non-speaking or rely on various methods of non-verbal communication.\n\nDiverse Communication Styles: Examine how information is processed and shared\, honoring the unique communication styles of neurodivergent learners.\n\nThe Universal Language of Visuals: Realize just how much we all rely on visual cues in our own daily lives (from traffic signs to smartphone icons) and how to bridge that familiarity into the classroom.\n\nPractical Visual Toolkits: Move beyond theory with a concrete introduction to different types of visuals—such as schedules\, choice boards\, and environmental cues—along with step-by-step strategies on how to create and implement them effortlessly.\n\nWhat You Will Take Away\n\nYou don't need a background in graphic design or endless free time to make your environment more accessible. Attendees will leave this session with an actionable understanding of how to build preventative\, visual supports that reduce anxiety and foster independence.\n\nTo ensure your success long after the workshop ends\, all participants will receive a &nbsp\;package of extra resources\, ready-to-use templates\, and evidence-based guides to support your daily practice. Let's demystify visual supports together and make communication and learning accessible for everyone.

The session will begin by outlining CASEL's definition of SEL and its five core competencies (the CASEL 5): self-awareness\, self-management\, social awareness\, relationship skills\, and responsible decision-making. Building on this overview\, the presentation narrows its focus to adult self-management (the ability to manage our emotions\, thoughts and actions when working toward&nbsp\;an objective/goal) for both elementary and high school teachers. Strong self-management helps us respond effectively to challenges by allowing us to pause before reacting to a situation\, regulate our impulses\, thoughtfully consider our options\, and make intentional choices. Participants will dive deeper into self-management through practical activities and collaborative discussions.

SUMMARY:When Diagnoses Collide: What Do We Prioritize First in the Classroom?
DESCRIPTION:Students with co-occurring diagnoses often present with complex academic\, behavioural\, emotional\, sensory\, and social needs\, making it difficult for teachers to know what to prioritize in the classroom. This professional development session will help teachers move beyond a diagnosis-first approach and use a practical\, evidence-based framework to&nbsp\;identify&nbsp\;students’ most immediate needs\, including safety\, regulation\, access to learning\, communication\, and skill-building. Participants will learn how to interpret behaviour through a needs-based lens\, select&nbsp\;appropriate classroom&nbsp\;supports\, and respond in ways that are proactive\, compassionate\, and focused on helping students&nbsp\;participate&nbsp\;meaningfully and build independence.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Wiring\, Not Willfulness: Early Intervention for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
DESCRIPTION:When a five-year-old flips a chair during center time\, or a seven-year-old flatly refuses to line up for recess\, it is easy to feel like you are locked in a deliberate power struggle. But in the early elementary classroom\, what looks like a bad attitude is usually a reflection of brain architecture\, not a personal attack on your lesson plan.\nWiring\, Not Willfulness reframes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) specifically through an early intervention educational lens. Designed for teachers\, this session moves past traditional\, punitive disciplinary models\, which often inadvertently escalate behaviours in young learners\, to explore how early\, school-based interventions can rewrite a student's trajectory. Instead of trying to break a challenging behaviour through sheer force of will\, you will learn how to decode the neurodevelopmental "wiring" driving the defiance and intervene before negative school patterns become permanent.\n\nPerfect for kindergarten through early elementary teachers looking to trade classroom frustration for effective\, evidence-based engagement strategies.

SUMMARY:The Power of Adult Posture: Creating the Conditions for Children's Learning\, Engagement\, and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Children's development is shaped not only by what adults teach\, but by how adults show up in relationship with them each day. Through their presence\, responses\, and interactions\, educators create the emotional climate that influences children's sense of safety\, belonging\, behaviour\, engagement\, and capacity to learn. Drawing on developmental science\, attachment theory\, and practical classroom experiences\, participants will explore how adult posture influences children's behaviour\, emotional regulation\, sense of self\, and willingness to engage in learning. Through practical examples and guided reflection\, participants will discover how intentional\, relationship-based interactions can foster healthy development\, strengthen connections\, and create the conditions in which children can thrive.&nbsp\;This presentation is relevant to ALL STAFF at any grade level.
