This cohort is designed to support educators in pivoting their strategies to best practices.  The majority time spent together during this hour is in discussion.  THIS IS NOT a content learning event but a place to come talk out what you have learned in attending or interacting with learning from the SNS learning content.  Our goal is to find places to apply the learning, making changes in our practice to better serve students.  All are welcome, but please note educational settings are our focus. Also note, you do not need to attend all of the events.  Join when you can.

Regulation is the foundation upon which we are able to access our learning.  When a student experiences a regulation system that is in distress, it may result in a lack of access to learning as well as behavior that is challenging to adults.   We will learn how the stress response system works within our brain and the role it plays in a student's ability to be regulated.  A deep dive into understanding the skill sets it takes to be an active participant in self-regulation will be explored and strategies to better support co-regulation will be provided.

The way our body takes in,  interprets and reacts to the world can vary for a variety of reasons.  In this training participants will be introduced to this process and possible places students might be experiencing differences that cause unexpected reactions.  Staying curious and learning more about a student's perspective and how their body is adapting can support educators and families to be able to support that student be the best them they can be.   Through looking at our sensory processing systems and our regulatory systems we can build support to help students navigate the world they are experiencing.

The word sensory is used in many different contexts within education, and between educational disciplines; we use it to mean many different things.  In this training, participants will norm their language around the sensory systems and how sensory systems influence our brain.  We will explore how environments can influence sensory input and look at how we might utilize our favorite sensory tools in more effective ways that are  accessible to both related service providers and classroom teachers.  When we discover concepts such as  “fidgets aren’t for everyone,”  we can better set up environments and implement strategies that support individual student needs and how their body shows up.  We will learn to shift our focus from simply “sensory” to a deeper understanding of “regulation.”

Students who exhibit behavior that is challenging to adults often struggle with cognitive flexibility.  When the brain lacks access to its ability to gain and send out certain information, it may result in behavior that can look very rigid.  When rigid thought patterns, behavior patterns, and a feeling of a need for control interfere with learning and teaching, working on flexibility skills is a strategy we can use to impact student outcomes.  This workshop will explore how the brain works and the factors that impact a student’s ability to access and use flexibility.

Adapting to adversity is a struggle we all have. We often do not think of resilience as a skill set but rather a way of being.  In this training, participants will learn about the components of resilience, and how their practice can influence the building of resilience in their students. We will look at the effects of a system that struggles to naturally cope with that adversity and the relationships it takes to build resiliency.

Students who do not use verbal language as their main communication mode are often misunderstood. At times, their communication modes are ignored, misunderstood, or viewed as wrong or bad.  Behavior that is challenging to us is only challenging until we know strategies to meet learners where they are.  Come increase your understanding of how to show up for students who may have significant support needs.

Have you ever not understood a joke or felt lost in an interaction with someone?  Understanding the social context around us is a skill set many of us have without much conscious awareness.  When our brain does not take in and process social information in the same way as those around us, it can result in a mismatch within our interactions.  In this training, we will explore components of how we socially communicate and, when our brain thinks differently, how that can cause social mishaps or mismatched interactions.  At times, the social information can be hidden to us; this training supports educators to provide information around social context and interaction.

The ability to be a social partner is a complicated system. Many of  us learned skills without much conscious awareness because the systems of learning matched the way our brain showed up.  When our brain does not take in and process social information in the same way as those around us, it can result in a mismatch within our interactions.  In this training we will explore components of how we socially communicate and, when our brain thinks differently, how that can cause a student to be misunderstood, have social mishaps or mismatched interactions.   Communication modes and how we communicate in context will be addressed.

Schools, districts, community organizations, and individuals (educators, family members, or community members) can access virtual support with the SNS statewide coordinator. Topics may include understanding of disability‐related needs in the areas of social and emotional learning including regulation, sensory, social skills, communication skills, flexibility, resilience, and executive functioning. These can include training, coaching, and brainstorming meetings, and can be provided up to 4 times a year. Districts, groups, or individuals can request this support by emailing the SNS statewide coordinator (kberg@cesa1.k12.wi.us). Scheduling will be dependent on availability.
