CONCURRENT SESSION I
||  ||= 9:45 a.m. - 10:35 a.m. ||= ROOMS ||= SESSION DESCRIPTIONS ||= PRESENTATIONS and RESOURCES ||
 * State and Federal Legislation ||= Diamond 1 || This presentation will cover State and Federal Legislation from 2014. || Presentation ||
 * What I Learned on the Playground that Helped Me In School ||= Diamond 2 || Schools need play systems to support every student every, day. Play needs to be age appropriate, inclusive, accessible, safe and fun. Play is an important component of early childhood and elementary education. This session will cover play area requirements under the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design, Environment Rating Scales (ECERS), and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The session will then provide information how to submit play area projects in the Grants Management System (GMS). || Presentation

 * An Update on Evidence-Based Practices and ASD - What School Administrators Should Know ||= Diamond 3 || Autism is considered the fastest growing disability (CDC, 2012) with current rates in the United States accounting for well over 730,000 individuals between the ages of 0-21 years (CDC, 2010). As these numbers of children identified with autism continuously grow, the number and variety of interventions and strategies also increases. For educators attempting to meet the diverse range of learning needs for children with ASD, decisions regarding the types of interventions to implement in the classroom and the limited research on numerous strategies can be both misleading and confusing. The purpose of this presentation is to provide administrators with a definition and overview of evidence-based practices in the field of autism spectrum disorders and specific resources that they can access to share this information; provide staff development; and improve supports for individuals with ASDs. || Presentation

Handout : 2014 EBP Report || //(Repeats in Session V)// ||= Diamonds 4 & 9 || Work continues on building evaluation models for Nebraska that improve instruction and leadership. Hear from representatives of the various pilot sites that have been making changes in their districts as a result of trying new processes and procedures. This presentation will provide an overview of the plans to make the models available statewide in the fall of 2015. || Presentation ||
 * Improving Instruction and Leadership Through Effective Evaluation
 * School Finance ||= Diamonds 5 & 10 || This session will include a review of relevant school finance legislation passed during the 2014 legislative session, including the changes to the Tax Equity & Educational Opportunities Support Act (TEEOSA) formula. We will also be discussing Annual Financial Report (AFR) coding issues along with information on federal programs. || Presentation ||
 * Engaging Families Right from the Start: Routines-Based Interview (RBI) ||= Diamond 6 || Many IFSP/IEP teams across the state have been trained in the use of the Routines Based Interview (RBI), an evidence-based practice for gathering information from families about their child’s participation in everyday routines and activities. It provides a picture of what a child knows and is able to do, along with what skills a child needs to learn to be more successful in everyday life. The RBI is a tool which supports districts to meet the requirements for conducting a child and family-directed assessment under IDEA, Part C and NDE Rule 52. Come learn how to begin RBI implementation in your district! || Presentation

 * Academic Language Professional Development for English Language Learners and Others in Need of Language Development ||= Diamond 7 || This session provides an overview of an NDE professional development program focused on improving academic language development for ELLs and others – such as students in poverty who often enter school with vocabulary skills lagging behind their peers. You will be introduced to training modules/videos and a process that can be delivered by a statewide, NDE-trained professional development cadre. This cadre has been trained by Jane Hill, author of //Classroom Instruction that Works with English Language Learners// and Lead Consultant at McREL. Mary Lamken will share how her district has used this program as part of their school improvement process. All teachers whether they are classroom teachers or ELL teachers can be included in the training and students from all backgrounds benefit from the strategies. ||  ||
 * Low Tech in a High Tech World: Overcoming Learning Barriers with Low Cost, Low Tech Assistive Technology Solutions ||= Diamond 8 || When it comes to assistive technology, many think the most expensive and technologically advanced solution is the best one. However, learning barriers can often be reduced or eliminated by implementing lower-tech equipment solutions. During this interactive presentation, participants will learn about low-tech AT that keeps cost at a minimum, while maximizing the benefit to educators and students. Attendees will leave with some low-tech AT to utilize in everyday activities. || Presentation ||
