We are excited to offer two Zoom PD sessions on Thursday, July 11, 2024, led by OEA Education Policy consultants Ellen Adornetto and Daria DeNoia. The sessions are:
9:00 AM-11:00 AM Ellen Adornetto will present "Regarding Licensure". Ellen will discuss the new pre-service teacher permit that is coming online, the changes to the RE license and how RE is managed through the SBOE, and the licensure fees, changes, requirements and more of the demands on public education employees to do their jobs.
12:00 PM-2:00 PM Daria DeNoia will present "PBIS: It's Not Just Points and Parties" All educators encounter students who exhibit challenging behaviors, and Ohio requires that schools implement PBIS frameworks to address these challenges. But what is PBIS? Does PBIS need to include points and parties? Can educator voice be included in the decision-making process? During this session we will define and discuss Ohio’s PBIS law, learn about collaborative implementation of PBIS frameworks; share examples of PBIS implementation in school settings; discuss tools that help examine root causes of challenging student behaviors; and reflect on how educators and their Union can advocate for strong and effective PBIS frameworks that improve the working and learning environments for educators and their students.
There will be door prizes each session, with a PD certificate for your total hours provided. Members are welcome to attend one or both sessions. There is no charge for any member to attend.
