The Group Plan

In this free webinar, Michelle Garcia Winner explores why this concept is essential to social interactions across ages and cultures, how to teach it to students, and what resources can help. The group plan is to be taught after your students understand and are using the first two concepts discussed in the webinars thoughts and feelings and thinking with your eyes.

The Process of Articulation Therapy goes through the steps of teaching the target sound (the sound you want to teach) in isolation, syllables, words, sentences, stories, conversation and finally generalizing the target sound in all contexts of language.

Thinking with Your Eyes

In the second free 90 minute webinar, Michelle Garcia Winner provides examples of how to teach thinking with your eyes across age groups, and lessons and activities to expand your teaching of this concept.

Thoughts & Feelings

Michelle Garcia Winner explains best practices for teaching thoughts and feelings with different age groups, and activities to expand your teaching of this concept.

Whole Body Listening

Whole body listening (WBL), first introduced by Susanne Poulette Truesdale (in Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, July 1990, Vol. 21, 183-184) is a popular concept taught in schools to help students focus and actively listen with more than just their ears. WBL is essential for collaborative engagement, relationship development, and peer-based group work.

Interactive Stamp Game

The stamp game is used to teach basic and dynamic math operations with the pieces representing units, tens, hundreds and thousands.

Movable Alphabet Printable

The moveable alphabet is a Montessori tool used to teach reading, spelling, and writing. There are multiples of each letter and each letter has its own compartment in a wooden box with vowels in blue and consonants in red.

Social Anxiety: Breaking It Down to Build Up Social Competencies

Anxiety and stress are normal life experiences that we should all learn to manage as part of our life skills. One specific type of anxiety is social anxiety.

When children learn to manage their social anxiety, it can help them collaborate with others and build relationships, core essentials for college and career readiness. In this webinar, learn how to break down social anxiety and get strategies to build up social competencies.

Sharing an Imagination

We tend to think imaginations are only for the young! Yet sharing an imagination is essential across the ages for having a conversation, working in a team, creating new things, reading comprehension, peer play, social networking, and more.

Size of the Problem

Math is not the only activity that requires problem solving; we’re constantly problem solving socially when communicating with others, working in groups, doing homework, self-regulating, etc. Along the way, we encounter problems of different sizes that can cause negative emotions.

Flexible & Stuck Thinking

Flexible thinking is essential in the social world. Many things we do every day require it: interpreting what others are saying and doing, understanding humor, learning in a classroom, working with others, being an effective employee, etc.
