The 8th Annual Trauma-Informed Care Summit is presented by the Ohio Children’s Alliance. The 2-day professional learning opportunity will be held virtually.
The purpose of the Summit is to move systems beyond trauma informed to trauma competent with specific focus on Trauma-Informed Care in a Pandemic. As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads across the globe, we are in the midst of uncertainty and upheaval. Where the focus may often be on recognizing COVID-19 symptoms during this time, it is also important to recognize that this time of crisis and trauma may lead to many physical, emotional, social, relational and spiritual challenges for many.
Registration is $39, but scholarships are available.
These virtual, interactive sessions are designed for administrators, curriculum directors, special education directors, and superintendents.
Understanding the importance of literacy as the foundation for learning is the focus these interactive virtual sessions, sponsored by the State Support Team Region 1. Participants will investigate the complex nature of building and advancing literacy skills across all disciplines. This network will explore the practices that address the six essential domains of adolescent literacy instruction. Those which include:
- Disciplinary literacy
- Vocabulary
- Discussion
- Digital literacy
- Multiple texts
- Writing to learn
Administrators will learn instructional strategies that can be implemented the following day as well as develop understanding for guiding principles that will assist in the professional growth of participants. This network will build a solid theoretical framework of adolescent literacy, disciplinary literacy and provide a set of resources for developing and implementing literacy plans.
