For years, KUCRL operated on the assumption that one of the keys to improving student outcomes in schools was to provide quality professional development on research-validated practices. Although high quality professional development IS very important, we have learned that it is only a part of the total picture. If we want what we do in professional development on specific interventions to really make a difference, we need to follow key principles related to bringing about and sustaining change in schools. This session will include perspectives and specific suggestions from experts who have spent a great deal of time in the trenches leading and implementing change initiatives in complex organizations and with the people who work in them.

Integrating Course, Unit and Lesson Organizers into College Classes - Mary Ring - It is critical for college education professors to model the use of content enhancement procedures in graduate and undergraduate classes. The course, unit and lesson organizers can effectively demonstrate the relationships of critical course content as well as cue the students to useful strategies in Learning the content, and the questions that will be addressed in the lectures. When students experience the organizers in their own education classes, they are more likely to understand th \e usefulness of the organizers. Thus, they will be more likely to use them when they teach. This poster session will demonstrate how selected course, unit, and lesson organizers can be used to enhance instruction in a undergraduate general ed required course for all education majors.

The session began with a presentation on SMARTER planning and culminated with the development of a mathematics Unit Organzer and teaching of the unit lessons in a fifth-grade classroom. In grade-level groups of four students, each group had a copy of the teacher's edition of a mathematics textbook from grades K-6, a blank sheet for planning, and a blank Unit Organizer. The task for each group was to select a math topic from the textbook that they might teach in their field experience. Each group developed two or three critical questions,. Next, they predicted and identified possible difficulty with the teaching and student learning of that topic. Lastly, instructional decisions were made and each group partially completed a Unit Organizer for its topic. S
Surface Counseling: Replicated and Refocused for Preservice - Joe Crank, Paul Jones, Scott Loe - In this study, we have adapted the Surface Counseling Instructional Program (Crank, Deshler, and Schumaker, 1995) for use in a preservice counseling and school psychology course. Surface Counseling is the name of a process of social/emotional problem solving and relationship building. The original intent of the surface counseling instructional program was to provide teachers a set of skills to use with their troubled students. An evolution of the initial program led to the use of surface counseling with mentors and youth, in general. The current research replicates the earlier research, but has been refocused on the usefulness of the Surface Counseling program, with graduate students preparing to become counselors and school psychologists. A multiple baseline design was use d to ascertain the effects of the instructional program. Evaluation also included follow-up maintenance of the skills and social validation measures.

STRUCTURE Your Reading - Tia McCauley, Barb Ehren
STRUCTURE Your Reading is an explicit approach to teach strategic reading. It packages strategies, including our SIM strategies, into a framework that provides a systematic way to integrate strategies before, during and after reading to enhance comprehension of text. It is called a "strateroutine" because it starts out as a teaching routine and grows up to be a strategy for students. It has been in the research hopper for several years. Data will be presented from research conducted at Marsteller Middle School in Virginia where students were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups in grades six, seven and eight.

Frames R Us - Bev Downey
The Framing Routine can be used in introducing a lesson and with a fun candy sorting activity. Dale Simonson, Iowa Professional Developer, has developed a three part frame using the headings Hopes/Expectations/Fears from the Possible Selves strategy. At the beginning of a session, participants share their hopes, expectations, and fears related to the topic. This promotes development of a FRAME in the first few minutes of the session and shows how to use a FRAME to introduce a lesson/topic. Another way to use the Frame is with a candy sorting activity, and once the Frame is complete, participants can eat the candy. This is a great activity to close a lesson.

There is a new sense of urgency across the nation for educators to find ways to create changes in schools that will result in high performance by all students. Yet with all the focus on change, progress sometimes seems miniscule. Why do some schools generate drastic improvements while others do not? Join this session to discuss the various ways that SIM can make dramatic impact in schools by offering a tiered instructional approach through the Content Literacy Continuum. This approach addresses many of the needs schools face today, including issues surrounding RTI. This session will focus on 5 critical components needed to create significant change in your school.

Improving how an individual struggling learner performs is a challenge. However, changing the instructional practices and culture of an entire school so the performance of many students improves can be daunting. Several professional developers have been taking on and succeeding at this challenge! Although there is much that we still find to be baffling, lessons being learned and important insights are emerging. This session will provide an opportunity to hear from those who have had first-hand experiences in working with schools to make improvements. A case study involving actual examples will be used to share key findings and engage all participants in the problem-solving discussions. - SIM Conference 2012 Strand: THE Buttons to push to change Student Outcomes in a Major Way - Don Deshler, Diane Gillam, Patty Graner, Pam Leitzell, Barb Ehren (02:01:07)

“Vital behaviors” are actions that drive change in a big way. If identified and implemented with laser-like focus, the high-leverage nature of these kinds of behaviors can really change results. Some vital behaviors have been identified for losing weight (i.e., never skip breakfast and weigh yourself daily) or in stopping the spread of New Guinea tapeworm (i.e., filter water before drinking it)……..but what about vital behaviors in working with struggling adolescent learners in secondary schools? What have we learned from our work in schools that would measure up to being a vital behavior? The purpose of this session will be to roll up our sleeves and explore this question. Here’s how we’ll do it. First, we’ll take a look at a framework to guide our thinking to bring about change in student achievement. Basically, this framework says that we need to think about putting in place some supports for instruction, for professional learning, and for the school system itself. We won’t spend a lot of time talking about this framework – just enough to get everyone on the same page. Then we’ll call upon three “expert witnesses” to make the case for one facto from each the three support areas in the framework that they deem to be a vital behavior.

Components of the new initiatives from the Common Core State Standards, sound SO familiar to Content Enhancement users. Main ideas, compare and contrast, questions, argumentation, claims, and evaluation appear across content areas. Responding to all these needs will be a challenge for teachers in our schools. However, the same challenges presented to teachers in the Common Core State Standards are often the same as those experienced by professional developers in Content Enhancement. This interactive thinking and planning session will help us collaboratively answer important questions associated with the following: COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
1. What are the higher order thinking demands in the Common Core State Standards?
2. How do these higher-order thinking demands grow increasingly complex across grade levels?
3. How are these demands similar across curricular areas (science, social students, English Language Arts)?
4. How are these demands illustrated in textbooks and in the assessments?
5. What are the Content Enhancement Routines specifically designed to respond to each higher-order thinking demand in the Common Core State Standards?
6. How can we illustrate the power of individual Content Enhancement routines and graphics to help students respond to the thinking demands?
7. How would integrated sets of Content Enhancement Routines illustrate to the field that these routines can facilitate and increase the learning specified in the Common Core State Standards?
8. How can professional development be leveraged across grade levels and curricular areas to produce more intensive use of a range of multiple, well-selected, devices that will support both teachers and students as they respond to the Common Core State Standards?
PLEASE BRING TEXTS, ASSESSMENTS, DISTRICT GUIDE LINES, AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS THAT WILL HELP YOU AND OTHERS LEAVE THIS SESSIONS WITH ILLUSTRATIONS OF ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS. TIME FOR PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT, AND COLLABORATION WILL BE SCHEDULED.

- SIM: A Building Block for Hope - Beachboard
-
Hope is not simply an emotion. Hope is a science. Hope is one of the most robust predictors of GPA, future academic attainment, and overall resiliency. Measuring and raising hope levels can combat the effects of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, build motivation, and drive achievement. SIM professional developer and author Cathleen Beachboard is on a mission to improve hope in schools. This mini-keynote shows how standard practices in the SIM Content Enhancement Routines (CER) and Learning Strategies (LS) support psychological hope and can improve the success and life outcomes of every learner. Interweaving her expertise as a classroom teacher utilizing SIM CER and LS, and research and tools from her new book, The School of Hope: The Journey From Trauma and Anxiety to Achievement, Happiness, and Resilience, Cathleen plans to show how SIM can be a building block for supporting hope in every classroom.
