Is it a bridge to partnership or a barrier to engagement? In this workshop series, we explore how school employees serve as the vital frontline of community belonging. We address the \"cultural mismatches\", differences in communication styles and lived experiences, that can unintentionally create mistrust, especially within culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Learning will be sustained through built-in practice during the session, so participants leave with strategies ready to use, along with practical resources to support ongoing implementation. Participants will be encouraged to collaborate with colleagues to continue reflecting and holding one another accountable, building a community of learners. Change will be evident through increased confidence, more culturally responsive communication, and more restorative and intentional relationship-building with families.

This collaborative workshop series guides educators, coaches, and school leaders through building data literacy using Harvard’s Data Wise Improvement Process, while also considering challenges with change management. Together, we will move past the overwhelm of \"too much data\" and build a culture of collaborative inquiry. Participants will learn how to look at data constructively, identify true learner needs, adjust instructional practices, and navigate the psychological and structural shifts required for sustainable, school-wide change. This workshop series addresses multiple domains of Connecticut’s Common Core of Leading (CCL), Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSSEL), and the Common Core of Teaching (CCT). Session Topics: Session 1-Teaming, Early Inquiry, and Resistance to Change Management; Session #2-Deeper Inquiry about Students and Adults, From a Culture of Compliance to a Culture of Inquiry; and Session #3-Taking Action, Overcoming Implementation Dips. Who Should Attend? This series is designed for District Leadership Teams, School Leadership Teams, Instructional Coaches, Department Chairs, and Grade-Level Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Because this framework deeply addresses systems change and culture shifting, we highly recommend attending as a team of up to five (5) to maximize the impact in your setting.

How can leaders support strong academic outcomes without narrowing instruction or reducing time for play? This session focuses on vertical alignment across Pre-K and Kindergarten using CT ELDS and Kindergarten standards as a developmental continuum rather than separate mandates. Leaders will explore how curriculum pacing, materials, and expectations can be aligned without compromising the integrity of early childhood pedagogy. Participants will reflect on how leadership messaging, instructional guidance, and decision-making shape classroom practice across the continuum.

The two conditions were treated as mutually exclusive until the DSM-5 (2013) removed the rule that had prevented a dual diagnosis—a position carried forward in the current DSM-5-TR (2022)—so awareness of how they present together remains thin in both research and practice. The result is “AuDHD” students whose needs pull in seemingly opposite directions: predictability and novelty, deep focus and flexible shifting, routine and stimulation. When educators apply strategies built for one profile in isolation, those supports can quietly undercut one another—and the student is left carrying the mismatch. This three-hour interactive workshop provides special educators with a practical, strengths-based framework for understanding and supporting individuals with ADHD & Autism, or “AuDHD,” across the K–12 span. Together, we will examine how the two profiles interact to create needs distinct from either one alone, why single-profile strategies so often work against each other, and what genuinely integrated support looks like in real classrooms. Through case studies, hands-on planning activities, structured discussion, and the perspectives of AuDHD individuals themselves, participants will build a toolkit they can use the very next school day. Particular attention will be given to learners who are routinely under-identified—including girls and students whose traits present as inattention rather than hyperactivity, and those who mask, who are frequently identified late or missed entirely. Participants will leave able to recognize, plan for, and advocate for the whole student rather than half of one.","date":"2027-03-10","time":"9:00 AM–12:00 PM ET","venue":"Greater Columbus Convention Center","city":"Columbus","state":"OH","organizer":"Council for Exceptional Children","category":"Special education","grades":"K–12","price":"Price: see organizer","registration_url":"https://cecconvention.org"},{"id":"beyond-the-hype-practical-artificial-intelligence-for-special-education-professionals-colu","url":"https://www.k12workshops.com/workshops/beyond-the-hype-practical-artificial-intelligence-for-special-education-professionals-colu","title":"Beyond the Hype: Practical Artificial Intelligence for Special Education Professionals","content_text":"Artificial intelligence is everywhere in education conversations, but what does meaningful implementation look like in special education settings? This engaging pre-conference experience moves beyond trends and tool lists to focus on practical applications that support instruction, accessibility, communication, collaboration, and educator workflow.

The session will also address critical topics including ethics, data awareness, responsible use, and evaluating the quality and appropriateness of artificial intelligence tools in educational settings.

The workshop will provide an overview of DBI, illustrate how DBI can be used to support the delivery and intensification of evidence-based reading and mathematics intervention, demonstrate how DBI strengthens both MTSS and special education service delivery, and highlight lessons learned from successful implementation efforts across schools, districts, and states.
