Teaching reading is rocket science! What are the inner workings of the mind, and how do they enable reading comprehension? Participants will learn about the processes that comprise executive function, how they are measured, and how they relate to reading comprehension and instruction.
Parents
How to Raise Resilient, Happy, and Confident Kids
Abby Roy, School Psychologist, shares practical strategies to help parents (and teachers!) know what to say and do to help children manage frustration, think flexibly, and learn the self-regulation skills they need to be happy and healthy. Together, we can be the parents we wish to be for our children.

This workshop will focus on the components of a comprehensive reading evaluation and how a well-designed assessment can provide instructors with targeted instructional responses to student needs.
