Working Agenda (please add your own topics, questions below so we can build the agenda together)
- Welcome to all districts
- News on the frontier - Brain Imaging and Interventions (Dr. Urs Ribary - thanks Urs! Our wonderful neuroscientist and BC LEEP Chair)
- Sharing - successes, challenges (Hometown interventions - What interventions have you used, created that are beyond those offered by Scientific Learning?)
- Sky Gym/Space Racer:
When making the sound, use hand gestures from low to high (mimic the location with the sound) > “woop”. “Weep” – hand gesture from high downward to low (thanks to Frank Thorburn)
- Grade level enrollment - @ instructional level (not at age normed grade). For non-readers, use pre-K (**Can whoever wrote this, explain further?)
- Include some form of word study (in LSS or in classroom) - Invernizzi & Bear - Words their Way or P. Cunningham - Making Words (*these support the brain's need to categorize and group items to make sense.)
- Involvement by classroom teacher with the program - consider one-minute fluency as tracking assessment, flashcards of vocabulary from the program, daily encouragement, celebrate the little successes
- Delivery model changes (OnDemand/site) to MyScilearn - what does that all mean (planning?, reconfiguration)
- Questions, wishes, future plans; Other
