STEMFor teachersJoin us for STEM Connects, designed specifically for PreK-8 educators, instructional coaches, and curriculum leaders. This event offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a collaborative learning environment focused on enhancing STEM education. Participants will share insights and strategies to support effective teaching in science, math, and integrated STEM experiences. Attendees can look forward to networking opportunities with fellow educators and engaging in breakout sessions covering a variety of STEM topics. This is an excellent chance to expand your knowledge and discover new methods to inspire your students. STEM Connects is hosted by the Learning Technology Center (LTC) in collaboration with the Center for STEM Research, Education, & Outreach at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), the Illinois Math & Science Academy (IMSA), Regional Office of Education #40, and Regional Office of Education #41. Be part of a community dedicated to fostering strong STEM teaching and learning. Your participation is valuable as we work together to shape the future of education in these critical fields. Participants earn 4 PD hours. Presented by Lisa Schwartz, Regional Educational Technology Coordinator, West Central, Learning Technology Center.
Social-emotional learningFor teachersCome learn four research-based, low-intensity strategies: precorrection, instructional choice, opportunities to respond, and behavior-specific praise to increase academic engagement and prevent challenging behavior within tiered models like Ci3T. Presenters will model using free resources while attendees practice, plan use, prepare materials, explore integrated lesson planning, and share strategies with colleagues.
Special educationFor teachersAutism and ADHD co-occur far more often than special educators were once trained to expect. 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.
EdTechFor teachersArtificial 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. Participants will explore how artificial intelligence can be used to strengthen lesson design, support student engagement, streamline professional tasks, and enhance access to learning while maintaining educator expertise and instructional decision-making at the center of practice. 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. Through demonstrations, collaborative activities, implementation planning, and guided exploration, attendees will leave with adaptable strategies, practical resources, and greater confidence for navigating artificial intelligence in ways that support both educators and students.
Special educationFor teachersDo you have questions about how to individualize and intensify instruction when your students are not responding? This workshop will introduce participants to data-based individualization (DBI), a process for individualizing and intensifying interventions through the systematic use of assessment data, validated interventions, and research-based adaptation strategies. 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. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the DBI process, access to freely available tools and resources, and actionable strategies to improve outcomes for students who need the most intensive support.
