Engaging the Class through Small Group Instruction

"Read The Room"
Monday August 5, 2024 11:40am - 12:25pm EDT
304
This session will focus on helping educators identify with and connect to students in order to best teach them. We will cover how to avoid using a cookie cutter approach to trying to build relationships with students and explore the importance of being reflective in our own practices in order to make changes necessary to connect with our students.
Together, we will explore the importance of body language, being culturally sensitive, identifying social-economic issues, and recognizing microaggressions that can be counterproductive to connecting with students.

Supporting Parents with Anxious Children - A Book Study
Tuesday August 6, 2024 11:40am - 12:25pm EDT
304
Parenting an anxious child means facing constant challenges and questions: When should parents help children avoid anxiety-provoking situations, and when should they encourage them to face their fears? Left untreated, anxiety disorders can make it hard for students to get schoolwork done or study. It may affect their relationships with peers and teachers, too. In some cases, students with anxiety disorders miss a lot of school days. Or they may avoid school altogether.

The SISP team at Cox Mill Elementary will share how they developed and implemented a parent book study to support student wellness goals and address the area of emotional regulation. Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD by Eli R. Lebowitz, PhD. is the first and only book to provide a completely parent-based treatment program for child and adolescent anxiety. Through this book study, parents learned how to alleviate their children’s anxiety by changing the way they themselves respond to their children’s symptoms.
