Paras registered for the Paraeducator Recertification Course must register and attend this event to complete their requirements for the course and earn 1 credit toward recertification.
The Keynote speaker for the day will be Paul Gasser.
Paul is known for his “Love and Logic” presentations. This year he is speaking on ‘Calming the Chaos and Creating High Academic Achieving Students.’ This aligns with the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports as he introduces examples of Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions (without actually calling them by name).
He will provide paraeducators with some straightforward, no-nonsense strategies they can take and use immediately in their schools, and he will conclude with a challenge to have a personal plan of action upon completion of the training.
If you have questions about this workshop, please contact Glenda Suckow at 800-632-5918.
