Mental health awareness is an important issue for all educators. A student’s mental health can have a profound impact on learning and achievement. This mini-conference is designed to bring staff together from across the Greater Kansas City area in an effort to create a collaborative space where ideas will be generated and shared collaboratively to promote quality school mental health support systems. Topics presented include information regarding the components of mental health, brain based interventions for working with students, restorative approaches and ways to connect with community partnerships and resources.
Recommended audience: Administrators, counselors, social workers, teachers.
In Missouri, local school boards make curriculum decisions tailored to the needs of their students and communities. The state literacy plan is not a mandated document for districts but rather a collection of resources, ideas and themes that might be considered in building a local, comprehensive literacy plan.
The K-12 Missouri State Literacy Plan is an evidence-based resource for administrators and teachers with useful information for parents and caregivers all along the K-12 continuum. It provides information on integrating literacy instruction with the state standards and current knowledge about literacy development. It offers ideas and links to resources to promote literacy, provides clear guidance on the components of a comprehensive literacy system, incorporates evidence-based practices necessary to achieve long-term success for our students and guides districts in developing a comprehensive literacy plan.
Components of the K-12 Missouri State Literacy Plan
Leadership and Sustainability
Intentional Instruction, Intervention and Enrichment
This interactive half-day workshop will provide participants a blueprint with the essential components of an effective district/building literacy plan for improving student literacy. Participants will have time to reflect using the “What’s Your Status?” questions either as starting points for developing a new local literacy plan or evaluating a current plan. Time for questions/answers and sharing of resources will be a priority.
