Explicit instruction is a systematic, direct, data-driven and research-based approach to teaching students who are affected by symptoms related to trauma. The principles of explicit instruction have been validated to improve both the academic and social skills of students with and without disabilities.
This conference is designed for educators and school administrators and will focus on explicit instruction and trauma-informed classroom strategies. Background on the effects of trauma on students and their learning will be discussed along with teaching strategies that take the effects of trauma into consideration. Both topics are associated with improving educational outcomes for all students.
Educators and school administrators working in typical and alternative school settings.

Crowned the best for falconry in medieval times, gyrfalcons were once reserved for kings. As the largest falcon in the world, with exquisite plumage ranging from bright white to deep charcoal, gyrs are revered for their powerful skill of flight. Their long wings make hunting waterfowl from 3,000-feet-high a feasible and fantastical feat. This falcon was flown in the sport of falconry for several years.
