Mark your calendars — this September 17 schools around the world are going international for Global Collaboration Day, a first-of-its-kind event designed to raise awareness about the merits of participating in projects that cross borders.
Schools that explicitly teach social-emotional learning (SEL) create positive learning environments and see an average 11 percent increase in academic achievement. Austin Independent School District (ISD) has transformed its entire learning ecosystem through a districtwide commitment to SEL. National leaders in SEL will share the research case for SEL as a key to improved student outcomes, innovative strategies for best-practice SEL implementation and sustainability, effect of SEL on Austin ISD schools, and lessons learned while transforming schools with SEL. Paul Cruz, Austin ISD Superintendent, will highlight the distinguished panel of presenters. In his time with Austin ISD, graduation rates have improved to an all-time high of 84.1 percent, and post-secondary enrollment rates have increased significantly. Roger Weissberg, CASEL Chief Knowledge Officer, will share expertise in the field of social-emotional learning. Sherrie Raven, Austin ISD SEL Coordinator, will provide real-world examples and advice for successful school- and district-wide implementation.

The Importance Of Customizing
Your AAC
App – What Is Possible And What You
Should Consider
Wednesday, August 5 |
There are many
hundreds of communication apps
on the market and identifying the best fit to
meet the
needs of an individual user can be, well – complicated!
Perhaps what
we should consider is how well an app
can be customized to meet those needs
and create that
perfect fit. This webinar will focus on what considerations
to take into account when it comes to customization –
what age is the user?
What is the ability of the user?
Does the user have a visual impairment? Does
the user
require a switch? We will then demonstrate a range of
settings
within Therapy Box’s own apps that demonstrate
how AAC apps can be adjusted
for a range of requirements.
