This particular program focuses on development of children from birth through age 8, the roles, responsibilities and requirements of individuals working in early childhood classrooms as well as curriculum development so that Teacher’s Aides can assist the teachers most effectively while also helping to cultivate a creative, caring and nurturing environment for young children. This program will introduce early childhood education with a focus on developmental expectations and challenges of young children, supervising and caring for young children, as well as strategies and tools for educating young children by developing thoughtful, engaging and exciting lesson plans that will lay the foundation for their education.

Explore the latest educational strategies tailored specifically for a student-centered classroom that caters to adults. We will begin by understanding the unique needs and motivations of adult students, followed by an analysis of their diverse learning styles and how to leverage their strengths for effective teaching. You will also encounter a variety of innovative techniques that transform your students into active participants in their education, alongside tools—ranging from high-tech to no-tech—that will enhance engagement. We will tackle the critical aspects of material organization, crafting robust lesson plans, and developing effective assessments while also focusing on teaching essential study skills. Ultimately, you will gain insights into creating an effective learning environment for all students, including those with disabilities.

Uncover effective strategies to assist children with ADHD in managing their behavior and achieving academic success. You will gain insights directly from the children themselves, learning how Kristi navigates her impulses, how Wanda copes with boredom, how Adam enhances his cognitive engagement, how Harry meets his need for movement without distracting his teacher, and how Darren excels in his homework. Additionally, you will hear from parents and educators about the significant benefits of implementing simple adaptations in the environment, structure, rules, and expectations. This course will also dispel common myths surrounding ADHD while clarifying its impact on motivation, activity levels, attention, and memory. By the end, you will be equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to empower students with ADHD to realize their full potential.

Welcome to this course designed to empower educators in understanding and supporting students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Together, we will explore the neurobiology underlying ASD-driven behaviors and how they influence students' learning and interactions.

By developing techniques to address social discomfort, sensory sensitivities, meltdowns, homework challenges, language reciprocity difficulties, and intense fixations, you will be better equipped to support all students on the spectrum, from high-functioning autism to Asperger's Syndrome.

The course Transform Your Math Class Using Asset-Based Teaching for Grades 6-12 provides insight into asset-based perspectives in mathematics education to create an environment where all students feel valued and capable of being doers of mathematics. The content of the course highlights the importance of using language, instructional routines, and systemic structure that positively impact student engagement, their math identity, and ultimately their outcomes.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn to build and train an AI assistant that will create and validate budgets. By the end of the session, you will be able to apply these skills to create additional AI assistants that can automate repetitive tasks such as scheduling and progress tracking, provide predictive analysis and risk management assessment, and process data to support informed decision making.
