Have you ever wondered WHY a special education referral takes SO LONG? And wondered WHAT could possibly be involved and why you have to be a part of the process? If you answered yes to either of these questions, come sit and chat with us. Bring your coffee, or other favorite school appropriate beverage, and we will share all that is involved and how important your participation is. Your favorite diagnosticians will be there to talk with you about the referral process all the way from your first comment of "Hmmm...I think this student needs more help" to "How is it possible they did/not qualify?"
Creative Consequences: Shaping Behavior Through Meaningful Accountability
In elementary classrooms, our goal isn’t just compliance—it’s changed behavior. Join us for an interactive session focused on rethinking how we respond to student behavior in ways that build responsibility and better decision-making.
Together, we will explore the why behind student behaviors and examine why traditional consequences don’t always lead to lasting change. Through collaboration and hands-on activities, you’ll brainstorm and design creative, meaningful consequences that hold students accountable while teaching them how to make better choices.
This is not a sit-and-get session—you’ll actively engage in real scenarios, problem-solving, and idea-building with fellow educators. You’ll walk away with practical strategies, ready-to-use resources, and fresh ideas you can implement in your classroom immediately.
Come ready to think differently, collaborate, and leave equipped to make a lasting impact on student behavior.
