The workshop offers a pra ctical introduction to generative AI tools\, such as ChatGPT\, Gemini\, an d MagicSchool AI\, to reduce workload and improve student learning.\nConne ction Through Communication:\nStudents attend class more regularly when th ey feel seen\, valued\, and empowered to drive their own learning. We’ll explore how to build strong partnerships with your learners to create reg ular attendance\, better behavior\, and more engagement in learning. This workshop offers clear strategies to power the engine for learning.\n\n\nIn tegrating STEM and Literacy:\nEngage with the 5E Model as a planning tool to integrate STEM activities to help students build background knowledge a nd increase comprehension when reading informational texts.\n \nIntro to Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics:\nJoin us for a sneak peek int o our K-12 Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics book study and comm unity of practice\, including strategies to implement early in the school year.  More information about the Mid-Valley STEM-CTE-sponsored opportuni ty for the 2026-27 school year will also be shared during the session.\n\n Project-Based Learning:\n\nCurious about Project-Based Learning but not su re where to start? This session breaks down the core elements of effective project-based learning and helps you think through how to design meaningf ul\, rigorous projects that are tied to your core instruction and keep stu dents engaged. Whether you're brand new to project-based learning or just looking to sharpen your approach\, you'll leave with practical tools and a clearer vision for bringing it to life in your classroom.\n\n\n\nScience of Writing:\nFocus on Writing this year!  Get a taste of our LBLESD 4-par t Writing Series that begins this fall. Participants will walk away with a n understanding of the writing brain and take away some actionable strateg ies to enhance the writing craft across all content areas.\n\n\nSetting up Systems for Success: Classroom Organization &\; Parent Communication\n Your classroom environment sends a message to students before you ever say a word! This session walks you through the key decisions new teachers fac e when setting up their space\, organizing their space\, from seating arra ngements and traffic flow to routines\, materials management\, and creatin g a culture of organization from the start! Come ready to think critically about your space and leave with a setup plan that's both functional and w elcoming.  In addition\, you'll explore practical strategies for reaching out proactively\, navigating difficult conversations\, and setting a tone that builds trust with families from day one. Leave with ready-to-use tem plates and a communication plan that works for you and your community.\n\n \nSupporting Student Motivation:\nHave you ever heard the comment\, “Stu dents just aren’t motivated anymore\,” or found yourself wondering how to better engage and motivate your students? This session will provide ed ucators with practical tools to better understand student motivation and s trengthen student engagement in everyday classroom practice through strate gies that address students’ needs for belonging\, interest\, voice\, and connection. Teachers can foster stronger relationships and create classro oms where students feel heard\, valued\, and supported.\n\n\n\nTransformin g Classroom Culture Through Trauma-Informed Care:\nChildhood trauma can dr astically alter a student’s ability to\nconcentrate\, control impulses\, and form healthy relationships. Because trauma manifests in complex ways —from outbursts to emotional numbing—traditional disciplinary practice s often fall short. This session invites educators to make a perspective s hift: moving away from asking "What is wrong with you?" and instead asking \, "What happened to you?" To support this shift\, the participant will ex plore practical tools to de-escalate classroom tension\, build stronger re lationships\, and foster a supportive environment where every student can thrive. \n\nUnlocking Independence: Teaching Executive Functioning Skills :\nEver wonder why students struggle to start a simple task\, or why homew ork vanishes into the "black hole" of a backpack? The secret often lies in executive functioning (EF)—the brain's internal conductor managing focu s\, working memory\, and self-regulation. When this conductor is out of sy nc\, a frustrating gap forms between a student's true intellectual potenti al and their daily performance.\n\nIn this session\, educators will walk a way with concrete\, classroom-ready strategies to scaffold organization\, time management\, and emotional regulation\, ultimately empowering student s to take the lead in their own learning.\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lblesd.k12.or.us/training-calendar/w p-content/uploads/2026/05/flyer-image-with-registration.png CATEGORIES:Strategic Partnerships LOCATION:Linn Benton Lincoln ESD\, 905 4th Ave SE\, Albany\, OR\, 97321\, U nited States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=905 4th Ave SE\, Albany\, O R\, 97321\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Linn Benton Lincoln E SD:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
