2005 Winter Summit Program

 

The Ohio Alternative Education Advisory Council presented the 2005 Alternative Education Winter Summits in February of 2005.  There were four regional events so attendees were able to attend a Summit in their own region. All funded Alternative Education Challenge Grant Program recipients were required to attend at least one of the four regional summits. Grant recipients were not restricted to any one particular location or training track. All attendees could use a portion of their funding to attend the mandated event.

Descriptions of Workshops:

Academic Content Standards
The Academic Content Standards provide a set of clear and rigorous expectations for all students. Students need to learn more and do more complex work at each grade level. The
Academic Content Standards provide clarity to all Ohio teachers of what content and skills should be taught at each level. This session will look at standards with a focus on alternative education.

Evidence-Based Principles
Beginning in the 2006-07 biennium, all alternative education programs will be required to demonstrate successful implementation of evidenced-based practices in order to receive continued funding. Criteria for meeting this requirement will be discussed during this session, including: (1) logic models for prevention, short-term, and long-term programs; (2) levels of evaluation and assessment rigor appropriate for each program’s particular evidence-base; and (3) the role of feasibility.

Evidence-Based Principles Workshop Presentation

 

Family Engagement
Research indicates that one of the most critical factors of student/ family academic success is involvement of students/family/parents/ guardians. This workshop will explore the research on critical linkage and hear from a team of panelists who have successfully applied models of family engagement. Further, participants will have an opportunity to interact with others to explore strategies to enhance their programmatic functioning.

 

Social Emotional Learning

Maurice Elias, Ph.D.
Basic skills of SEL are reviewed and the problem-solving strategy FIG TESPN will be introduced. Participants will experience various formats of curricular and group activities that combine SEL and academic subject matter. Participants will have an opportunity to apply these strategies during the training.
