PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PREPARE Training, Workshop 2, May 2013
o This workshop trained me in the hierarchical and sequential set of activities that
prevent and prepare for psychological trauma, help reaffirm the physical health of
members of the school community and students perceptions that they are safe
and secure, evaluate the degree of psychological trauma, respond to the
psychological needs of members of the school community, and examine the
effectiveness of school crisis intervention and recovery efforts.
Introduction to Incident Command System, May 2013
o I successfully completed the Federal Emergency Management Association
(FEMA) course on the Incident Command System (ICS). This course introduced
the ICS and provided a foundation for higher level ICS training. It described the
history, features and principles, and organizational structure of the ICS, and also
explained the relationship between ICS and the National Incident Management
System (NIMS).
Neuropsychology of Reading Webinar, May 2013
o This webinar provided an overarching framework for effectively diagnosing and
treating reading comprehension disorders in children. There was a review of
brain-based educational perspective, and a review of neural underpinnings of
literacy in children. The webinar introduced multiple evidence based
interventions and specific reading comprehension programs, as well as classroom
strategies and accommodations. Case studies were also included to help
demonstrate how various tests of memory, language, intellectual functioning and
executive functioning can be integrated to pinpoint common reading pitfalls that
hinder literacy outcomes.
The Role of Executive Functions in Learning to Read and Reading Webinar, May
2013
o This webinar provided an explanation of how to determine interventions that will
be the most effective in helping a struggling learning. It explained how to find
out the specific cause of a students learning problems and then how to choose an
intervention that would most meet those needs.
Q-Interactive Training Workshop, July 2013
o At this training, I was introduced to the new Q-Interactive technology developed
by Pearson. We learned about development of the new software, as well as how
to administer the various Pearson assessments using the new software and iPads
in comparison to older paper and pencil methods.
