Lead Like You Give A Damn! Dr. Adrianne Kessler, BCBA, CEO Speech and Language Development Center
Administrator
 
Most of us in education and therapy organizations hold graduate degrees dedicated to our discipline. In all fairness, we have missed formal training in leadership development, common dysfunctions of teams, or how to coach our staff to greatness. This presentation will focus on leadership styles providing the audience with tangible take-homes to develop teams and bring out the best in everyone. You will leave with an understanding of theoretical leadership frameworks and the "how-to's" to put these strategies into practice immediately.    
 
Anti-Bias Initiatives & Best Practices for Administrators and Agency Staff Who Work With Students With Special Needs 
Nadine Levyfield, Student, Pacific Oaks College, MA Candidate & Shey Quinton, PsyD., Pacific Oaks College, School of Human Development/Advocacy of Social Justice

This presentation will take an administrative look into culturally competent practices for working with students, parents/families, and fellow staff members to create a more inclusive environment for all involved. Led by Nadine Levyfield, MA Human Development candidate, and Dr. Shey Quinton, Administrative Faculty for the School of Human Development/Advocacy & Social Justice with Pacific Oaks College. 
 
Behavior Crisis Team Protocol Wayne Tashjian, MFT, BCBA, Behavior Therapy Clinic
Behavior Support Personnel; Direct Staff; Nonpublic Agency
 
This presentation will cover all the components of designing and implementing a comprehensive Crisis Intervention Plan.  We will review the team selection process, environment preparation, plan development and maintenance, plan implementation, documentation, debriefing, and revising the behavior plan. 

 

Teacher Residency: Background, Types & Designing Ryan Eisenberg, ED.D. Executive Director, AchieveKids, Inc. 
Administrator; Nonpublic School 
 
The special education teacher shortage is at crisis levels.  One of the single greatest threats to our ability to maintain support levels, provide quality instruction, and to operate our schools is our ability to find qualified and talented special education teachers.  The state of California approved Teacher Residency grants to address this crisis, and from this year through potentially 2023, these funds will be made available to LEA's and Non-Public Schools.  This trainings walks administrators through the background of this available money, the different types of grants, which NPS qualify for, and basics in design elements in setting up your own residency system.
