1:00 PM: WEBINAR: Architecting the Promise of Differentiated Instruction


A one-size-fits all approach to teaching has been giving way to differentiation, but not without challenges to make it really work. While special educators appreciate the necessity for differentiation, they need help to create a vision for differentiation as an imperative and to understand second order change and how to use a yearly change plan to focus actions. We’ll suggest roles of principal and staff developers in turning ideas into action, explain how to balance patience and impatience and recommend many simple but important dos and don'ts.

3:30 PM: WEBINAR: Jacksonville University Examines the Impact of Poor Quality Notes on Student Engagement


In this session, hear from Olga Florez (Director of Disability Support Services) about how a broad spectrum of students found greater flexibility and independence with educational technology to improve the quality of their notes and their overall interaction with intensive programs.

The session will include a demonstration of how your students can use note-taking technology to capture and annotate audio in class, then revisit the material at their own pace to create richly detailed notes independently.

Attendees will have the opportunity to register their interest in trialling Sonocent note-taking software for free over the Spring 2018 semester.

Meeting the mental and emotional health needs of the LGBTQIA community should be a priority if you are in higher education and concerned about recruitment, retention-to-graduation, and job placement of all students, and especially those in this unique and vibrant population.
