Upcoming Trainings
Trauma-Informed Practices
While schools have always played a vital role in supporting the health and well-being of all children, it has never been more challenging. As a society, we have never been more aware of the emotional needs and mental health of our students. This is due to significant increases in our communication around mental health, mainly providing the language to discuss this with students. While the gaps are shrinking, much more consistency is needed in providing trauma-sensitive classrooms and schools. While we have made progress in understanding trauma and its impact on learning, there is still more work to be done.
In this training, we talk about the science of trauma in the brain and how it manifests in a variety of behaviors ranging from withdrawing, defiance, disruption, and avoidance. Through the course, we will work to understand all the components that affect the child and the school environment. We will work to make your school and classroom a place that promotes independence and resilience.
Building The Master Schedule
How do you maximize student learning, make your budget the most efficient it can be, and utilize your faculty in the best manner possible? Build the master schedule correctly, of course. The master schedule controls everything in a school building, from staffing to class size to your budget. The master schedule is the key to laying the foundation for a great school year in your building.
This training session will show how to build the master schedule for your school. Both expert schedulers and novices will take something away from this session. We will cover the basics of scheduling regardless of your scheduling software. We will even discuss the new hybrid models of scheduling brought about by COVID-19 and remote learning!

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence: Empowering Educators and Enhancing Student Learning
In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, technology has become an integral part of the teaching and learning process. Among the most promising technological advancements is Artificial Intelligence (AI), which has the potential to revolutionize education. This professional development series is designed for educators and principals seeking to harness the power of AI as both a resource for teacher planning and a tool to engage students in innovative ways.
Building Professional Learning Communities
Building meaningful Professional Learning Communites is the foundation of getting the work of building high quality pedagogists complete. This training is led by Maria Silvestri, one of the architects of the Terrier House PLC. The Terrier House was named a model program by NEASC and resulted in drastically changing the success metrics of students.
This training will cover best practices in PLC building including:
Laying the foundation
Building in metrics for students and teachers alike
Ways to utilize Advisory programs
Dealing with negative faculty and staff
Ways to increase student learning and staff self-reflection

Are They Prepared?
How does your daily interaction with your students influence/impact the college and career success of your students? Have your students made the connection between their academics and their career interests? Do they really know what they want to do after their high school graduation or are there career opportunities that they have not considered for themselves?
This workshop can help you to identify strategies to assist your students with aligning their career interests with their academic success. In this workshop, you will gain insights into identifying resources to strengthen your student's career goal choices and expose them to opportunities that they may not have considered.
Budgeting for Student Success
In this training Dr. Regulbuto will use her 20 + years of experience budgeting school districts to show you how to maximize every dollar in your budget. Dr. Regulbuto has won 5 Meritorious Budget awards from MASBO. She will cover the use of grants to supplement programming, high-quality “audit-proof” strategies and how to get your budget passed through the approval process.
This class will meet on four consecutive Tuesday evenings on 10.18, 10.25, 11.1, & 11.8
Getting Students to Talk in Math Classrooms
You know that talk in math is a good idea, but find yourself in a silent classroom more than you’d like? Got students who are talking, but finding yourself having to give them the ideas more than you’d like? This session is for you! We will apply the instructional frameworks of student talk (like turn and talk and fishbowl) and Math/Algebra Talks to get more students talking in class and then, use that talk to further their learning.

Supporting All Learners in Math Classrooms
Supporting All Learners in Math Classrooms is appropriate for both learning disabled and learning-appropriate teachers.
Do you find yourself defaulting to giving students procedural steps to follow and then, seeing them consistently miss steps? Research shows us that many students struggle with math because they do not understand the why behind what they are doing and easily forget steps – especially students with special needs. This session will focus on planning for grade-level learning while applying the math practices to allow for multiple methods of entry and success for students.
Instructor: Mistie Parsons
Audience: middle and high school mathematics and special education teachers
Building the Master Schedule
This training will go over the entire process for scheduling a school or district. Dr. Dufresne will cover from course selection to student load and everything in between.
