August 17 AND August 18
Registration: 8am - 8:30am
Workshop: 8:30am - 3:30pm

This comprehensive two-day workshop provides participants with detailed examples and practice activities on how to implement the evidence-based practices identified in the National Standards Report (2009). The STAR Program (Arick, Loos, Falco and Krug, 2004), a research-based curriculum, is used to provide examples. Appropriate content connected to the common core curriculum is presented and detailed information on the three evidenced-based instructional methods of discrete trial training, pivotal response training and teaching through functional routines are shared. Participants will learn how to implement these strategies through structured lesson plans and a curriculum scope and sequence. The workshop will include extensive data collection systems and participants will learn to collect and use data for instructional decision making. Workshop topics will include the use of a PowerPoint lecture, video examples, presenter demonstration and participant "hands-on" practice.

Target Audience: This training is designed for STAR Cohort Pathway Participants and Special Education Teams implementing the STAR curriculum
