&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;
Even the best curriculum is only as effective as the instruction behind it. If you&amp;rsquo;re looking to bridge the gap between "covering the material" and "student mastery," this is the professional development series you've been waiting for.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Our facilitators have been personally trained by Dr. Anita Archer, the leading architect of Explicit Instruction. During this two-day series we will take a deep dive into the core components of Explicit Instruction. You will learn how to apply these evidence-based practices to strengthen instruction within any curriculum or content area and ensure your students master essential content with clarity and confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The course focuses on the phonology, orthography and structure of the English language; takes a comprehensive look at how students learn to read and write; and helps teachers to recognize the characteristics of learning disabilities.  What makes Hamilton County ESC&amp;rsquo;s program unique is the practicum: each participant is assigned to a Master Teacher who provides one-to-one coaching and feedback on the creation and teaching of 9 lesson plans custom-tailored for the student the participant is tutoring during the course. Using the Sibme platform, participants upload their lessons and videos of their instruction, enabling instructors to give specific feedback at point of need on both planning and implementation of OG methodology. The maximum instructor/participant ratio in any cohort is 8:1.

This full-day continuing education course provides speech-language pathologists with a systematic, evidence-based framework for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating speech sound disorders across the developmental spectrum, with an in-depth focus on childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;
The first half of the course guides participants through the complete diagnostic process &amp;mdash; from intake and case history through orofacial examination, standardized and non-standardized sound assessment, phonological analysis, deep testing, and intelligibility measurement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Participants will learn to apply differential diagnostic reasoning to distinguish CAS from phonological disorder and dysarthria using current best-practice protocols.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;
The second half of the course shifts to evidence-based intervention, with dedicated instruction on treatment approaches for CAS, target selection principles, elicitation strategies, and motor learning principles that guide clinical decision-making. Participants will leave with practical tools for goal writing and data collection systems that support progress monitoring and documentation across settings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;This course is appropriate for speech-language pathologists working in school, clinical, early intervention, or medical settings who evaluate or treat children with suspected or confirmed speech sound disorders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.escweb.net/oh_hcesc/catalog/session.aspx?session_id=44800</link></item><item><title>Rethinking Disability and Mathematics: A 3-Part Book Study &amp; Collaborative Working Series - 9/17/2026</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Join us for a transformative three-part professional learning series centered on the groundbreaking work of Rachel Lambert.

This two-day professional learning experience is designed to equip district professionals with the knowledge and tools to implement effective K&amp;ndash;3 math intervention practices and to confidently apply the Comprehensive Math Intervention Framework (CMIF), ensuring consistent, high-impact support for every student.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Day 1 focuses on best practices in math intervention within an iMTSS model. Participants will examine how mathematics fits within iMTSS, experience examples of strong core and intervention instruction, and develop a shared understanding of what effective Tier 2 and Tier 3 math support looks like. Through guided analysis and discussion, educators will identify evidence-based instructional practices and intervention strategies that address common learning gaps in early mathematics.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Day 2 introduces our Comprehensive Math Intervention Framework in depth. Participants will learn the purpose, structure, and standards alignment of CMIF and how it supports systematic intervention decision-making. Educators will explore how to use common screeners to identify which students need additional support and to determine appropriate entry points for diagnostic assessment. The day emphasizes practical application: administering and interpreting diagnostic and progress-monitoring tools, using data to inform instruction, and implementing targeted intervention activities in small-group or one-on-one settings through a user-friendly platform.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Participants will receive access to use the tool for the 2026-2027 school year.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;This session is intentionally designed for classroom teachers, intervention specialists, instructional coaches, and administrators responsible for Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports. Participants will leave with concrete tools, shared language, and a clear process for delivering timely, data-driven math interventions, ensuring more students are on track for success before third grade.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;All participants receive full access to the CMIF framework and resources.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Through guided analysis and discussion, educators will identify evidence-based instructional practices and intervention strategies that address common learning gaps in early mathematics.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Day 2 introduces our Comprehensive Math Intervention Framework in depth. Participants will learn the purpose, structure, and standards alignment of CMIF and how it supports systematic intervention decision-making. Educators will explore how to use common screeners to identify which students need additional support and to determine appropriate entry points for diagnostic assessment. The day emphasizes practical application: administering and interpreting diagnostic and progress-monitoring tools, using data to inform instruction, and implementing targeted intervention activities in small-group or one-on-one settings through a user-friendly platform.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Participants will receive access to use the tool for the 2026-2027 school year.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;This session is intentionally designed for classroom teachers, intervention specialists, instructional coaches, and administrators responsible for Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports. Participants will leave with concrete tools, shared language, and a clear process for delivering timely, data-driven math interventions, ensuring more students are on track for success before third grade.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;All participants receive full access to the CMIF framework and resources.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;There will be an option to earn 1 Semester Hour through Ashland University for an additional Fee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.escweb.net/oh_hcesc/catalog/session.aspx?session_id=44722</link></item><item><title>Explicit Instruction: A Deep Dive Into Core Practices for High-Impact Teaching - 9/29/2026</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;You have your curriculum&amp;mdash;now, how do you make it stick?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;
Even the best curriculum is only as effective as the instruction behind it. If you&amp;rsquo;re looking to bridge the gap between "covering the material" and "student mastery," this is the professional development series you've been waiting for.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Our facilitators have been personally trained by Dr. Anita Archer, the leading architect of Explicit Instruction.

We&amp;rsquo;ll explore how AI can support deeper shifts&amp;mdash;like elevating learner agency, making data visible and actionable for students, and co-designing rigorous, flexible pathways so learners can drive their experience. Educators will engage with real classroom challenges and experiment with AI as a co-designer. Together, we&amp;rsquo;ll explore how to use AI to strengthen tier 1 instruction.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;PD Objectives:
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Analyze how AI can support dimensions of personalized learning (agency, clarity, equity, flexible path/pacing, and collaboration)&amp;mdash;beyond content generation or individualized pacing.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Experiment with AI-powered strategies that empower learners to engage with their own data, set goals, and design personalized learning pathways.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Design inquiry-driven prompts, assessment templates, or standard operating procedures with AI to support authentic, co-owned learning experiences and rigorous, equitable outcomes.

This is a collaborative book study and working space where we will explore the text to understand how to shift from a medical model of "fixing" students to a social model of removing systemic barriers. Together, we will bridge the gap between theory and the classroom by discussing the book&amp;rsquo;s core themes and trying out the math routines that support and empower neurodiverse learners.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Session Dates &amp;amp; Times (8:30 AM &amp;ndash; 11:30 AM):

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;A Hands-On, Team-Based Experience
These sessions are designed as active working workshops. To maximize impact in your specific classroom or building, invite your teammates to join you (see the team rate below).
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Participants should bring current curriculum materials and upcoming lesson plans to every session. We will use our time together to roll up our sleeves and modify these materials in real-time, applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to ensure they are accessible and rigorous for all students.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Our Collaborative Approach&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;To maximize our time together, this series follows a "flipped" book study model. Participants will engage with assigned chapters before each session, prepared to share insights, challenge traditional perspectives, and collaborate on classroom applications.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Each session will include:
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Shared Dialogue: Facilitated discussions focused on the big ideas from the assigned chapters.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Math Practice: Trying out the specific routines and "low floor, high ceiling" tasks discussed in the book.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Applied Design: A hands-on workshop where you will use your own curriculum materials to create practical tools like redesigned lesson plans and asset-based IEP goals.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Important Note: Participants are responsible for purchasing their own copy of the book: Rethinking Disability and Mathematics (ISBN-13: 978-1032135113).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

From there, participants will explore affirming alternatives that go beyond surface-level behaviors and get to the root of regulation needs in children and adults across diverse learning profiles.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;These alternatives are organized into the 5 Keys to Supporting Behavior Regulation: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Key 1: Building Positive Relationships &amp;amp; Understanding the Whys &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Key 2: Meeting Sensory Needs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Key 3: Increasing Predictability &amp;amp; Using Visual Supports &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Key 4: Providing Communication Supports &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Key 5: Interoception &amp;amp; Empowering Self-Regulation
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Throughout the course, participants will gain practical strategies for each of the 5 Keys, offering meaningful, neuro affirming ways to support behavior regulation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.escweb.net/oh_hcesc/catalog/session.aspx?session_id=44814</link></item><item><title>Effective Strategies for SECONDARY Content Teachers of ELs (Using SIOP) - 2/2/2027</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Join us for this two-day session designed for anyone supporting English learners.

Participants will engage with assigned chapters before each session, prepared to share insights, challenge traditional perspectives, and collaborate on classroom applications.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Each session will include:

    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Applied Design: A hands-on workshop where you will use your own curriculum materials to create practical tools like redesigned lesson plans and asset-based IEP goals.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3f3f3f;"&gt;Important Note: Participants are responsible for purchasing their own copy of the book: Rethinking Disability and Mathematics (ISBN-13: 978-1032135113).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
