- begin to establish skills to self reflect on their progress as an instructional coach and leader
- draft an internal monitoring plan to align proper implementation of timeline driven requirements through documentation and implementation

Please Note
- This Professional Learning Opportunity is by invitation only.

Supported decision making leads to self-efficacy, which reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one’s own motivation, behavior, and social environment. According to the author, Jonathan Martinis, this book is for “the people, parents, families, friends, professionals, and practitioners on the front lines who give and get the support we all need to lead our best lives.” The participants will learn how to apply and implement the principles of supported decision making with students with disabilities through the lens of the experience of Jenny Hatch and her pursuit for equity in her own decision making process in her adult life.

Since 2015, the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio PBIS Network have hosted the Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) Showcase, an annual event focused on showcasing Ohio’s schools implementing PBIS with high fidelity. This event brings together hundreds of Ohio principals, teachers, counselors, and others to network and share best practices around PBIS implementation to ensure safe and supportive school environments.
For more than 10 years, the Ohio Leadership Advisory Council has hosted the OLAC Action Forum—an annual event designed to bring hundreds of Ohio superintendents, principals, teachers, and others together to share stories about how district and building leadership teams and teachers-based teams are working together to impact all learners.
With a shared vision for building the capacity of those who lead, teach, and serve students in Ohio’s schools and beyond, we are excited to announce a partnership between OLAC and the Ohio PBIS Network to host a joint event this year. This one-day, virtual conference will combine the best of the OLAC Action Forum and the Ohio PBIS Showcase.
This year’s theme, Leading & Learning Together, will include sessions aligned around three strands:
- Leading, learning, and connecting in remote learning environments
- Supporting the whole child, including students’ social emotional well-being
- Ensuring equitable learning opportunities
Here’s what you can expect:
- 20 sessions to choose from
- Keynote speakers—Dr. Doug Reeves and Dr. Kent McIntosh
- Networking and collaboration opportunities via virtual ‘breakout’ rooms
- Access to all recorded sessions and materials following the event
- Opportunity to earn continuing education credit
See the full lineup by downloading the event brochure.
Leading & Learning Together, 2020 OLAC & PBIS Showcase is FREE, but registration is required. Please visit the OLAC website to register.

Opportunities to network and participate in topic-specific work groups will be provided. School Improvement will be the focus of the year, providing PD and resources around the 5-step Process, TBTs in preschool, and developing school improvement leaders at the preschool level.
Following this Professional Learning Opportunity, participants will:

- review their current school improvement practices and align them to early childhood state initiatives
- identify the role their position plays in overall school improvement
Please Note
- This Professional Learning Opportunity is by invitation only.
