AGC National Presenters’ Series
Power to the Para!





The Access to the General Curriculum (AGC) National Presenters’ Series offers participants a unique opportunity to hear some of the leading national experts in education for diverse learners.  Participants will receive information on innovative strategies to support accessibility and proficiency for all learners inclusive of students with disabilities. The trainings support the Texas Teacher Standards and the Domains within the Texas Teacher Evaluation Support System (TTESS).  Join us for this unique and exciting opportunity.




Important Session Information:



It takes a team effort to support a student with unique learning needs. Each person on the team has a role and responsibility in the student’s education. However, the person who typically spends most of the day working with the student and knows the student the best, receives the least training - the paraprofessional. This workshop is designed with the paraprofessional in mind. The paraprofessional typically works most closely with the student and needs to know and understand the tools that support the student and how to apply them in the classroom. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about the accessibility features of mobile devices, optical character recognition, adapting worksheets, adapting the curriculum, visual schedules and supports, aided language stimulation, as well as other tools to support the student. Participants in this workshop will leave with knowledge of tools and techniques needed to support the students they are working with.
