SUMMARY:Teach Like a Champion 3
DESCRIPTION:This is the third session for the book study on Teach Like A Champion’s Guide to the Science of Reading. Anyone can attend any session! Attendees who register and attend at least three sessions will receive a copy of the book. In this meeting\, we address how students access academic language. We dive into Vocabulary Reconsidered\, examining why vocabulary is the most important form of knowledge for comprehension and how to explicitly teach not just definitions\, but complex syntax. We will also explore the reciprocal relationship between reading and writing\, showing how intentional writing tasks function as an accelerator for deeper reading comprehension.

SUMMARY:PBL Unlocked: Designing Learning That Sticks
DESCRIPTION:Project-Based Learning offers students the chance to engage in meaningful\, authentic work-but it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin. This introductory session breaks PBL down into manageable steps\, helping educators understand the essential components that make projects both academically rigorous and deeply engaging. We’ll unpack how to craft compelling driving questions\, design inquiry-rich learning pathways\, and plan checkpoints that guide students toward high-quality final products. Participants will explore examples across subject areas\, discuss strategies for managing group work\, and learn how to embed assessment throughout the project lifecycle. You’ll leave with a clear blueprint for designing your first project\, complete with planning templates\, classroom structures\, and tips for fostering student ownership and creativity.

SUMMARY:Replacing "Challenging" Behavior with Meaningful Skills
DESCRIPTION:Instead of just trying to eliminate challenging behaviors\, what if we replaced it with something more functional? This session focuses on teaching replacement behaviors that meet the same needs\, whether it’s escape\, attention\, or sensory input. You’ll learn how to uncover the root cause (function)\, identify lagging skills\, and explicitly teach alternatives using visuals\, modeling\, and practice. We will also cover how to embed this instruction into your daily routines\, without overloading your day. Ideal for educators supporting students with emotional or behavioral challenges who want long-term change\, not just short-term compliance.
