EDUCATIONAdvanced Classroom Management: Children as Change Agents

Geared primarily for professionals (e.g.,

regular or special educators, instructional

assistants, school psychologists, counselors)

serving children and youths presenting

behavior problems in the school or community,

this course focuses on cognitive and cognitive-

behavioral interventions (often lumped together

under the rubric “social skills”) with an emphasis

on teaching students how to change and

manage their own behavior. Since previous

knowledge and understanding of traditional

behavioral (operant) concepts and strategies is

required, it is strongly recommended that you

take an introductory behavior management

course to learn the basic terms and concepts

of behavior management prior to taking this

advanced course.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Information & Intervention for Effective Teaching

This course will help the learner achieve a

better understanding of ADD and intervention

strategies to facilitate positive student change.

This course covers the history of the disorder,

accepted methods to assess and identify

students with the disorder, and various methods,

medications, and strategies that are currently

used to treat it. For situations in which services

beyond what can be provided in the classroom

are required, the referral process for getting help

for the student will be addressed. Reference

materials include a list of resources for both

teachers and parents who would like more help

or information about ADD or ADHD.

Autism and Asperger’s Disorder: Information and Interventions for Effective Teaching

Provides information on the characteristics

of the disorder, associated learning styles,

communication weaknesses and various

intervention strategies that have proven to

be successful when working with students

with Autism spectrum disorders. Make sense

of why individuals with Autism spectrum

disorders act the way they do and what you can

do to enhance more appropriate behavior.

The course also lists resources for educators,

related service personnel and parents who would

like more help or information on Autism and

Asperger’s Disorder.

Behavior is Language: Strategies for Managing Disruptive Behavior

This course is designed to give the learner

a new perspective on student behavior and

effective tools to facilitate positive student

change. Taught by Mick R. Jackson MS/ED, this

course provides a developmental framework

to help the learner understand what students

are trying to communicate through the

“language”of their behavior. Topics covered

include behavioral techniques and intervention

strategies that remediate disruptive behaviors,

reduce power struggles while increasing

classroom control, reduce educator workload,

and help prevent burnout. After successfully

completing this course, the educator and his/

her students will be better equipped to find

and implement creative, effective solutions to

behavioral problems.

Big Sky Behavioral Health Summit

Join the Beaverhead County Mental Health

Local Advisory Council for two days of

exceptional presentations by some of

Montana’s noted leaders in trauma informed

identification and care of children, substance

abuse treatment and recovery models, and

innovative interventions in our schools’

classrooms.

Child Abuse: Working with Abusedand Neglected Children

Designed to help the learner identify and

effectively teach students affected by child

abuse and/or neglect, this course covers how

to recognize the signs of physical, emotional,

and sexual abuse, and physical and emotional

neglect in students. It also discusses the specific

factors that exist in families who abuse or neglect

their children. A major emphasis in this course is

on helping the participant understand the special

learning needs of abused or neglected children

and how to meet those needs in the regular

classroom. Working with parents and community

agencies is also emphasized. Note: This course

meets the child abuse and neglect educational

requirement in most states. It is the responsibility

of the student to verify the course content with

his or her specific state professional licensing

agency to ensure proper credit.

Diversify National Parks: Teacher Workshop

Explore hands-on activities that bring the

importance of our public lands to your

classroom and integrate parks into your

students’ experiences. Spend evenings

discussing the impacts of nature in education

as you become part of a nationwide effort to

diversify America’s national parks.

Drugs and Alcohol in Schools:Understanding SubstanceUse and Abuse

This course is designed to help the learner

gain a more comprehensive understanding

of alcohol, drugs, and their influences in the

classroom. It provides a contextual framework

for understanding what students may

be experiencing either through their own

substance use or as a result of the substance

use of persons close to them and provides a

basic historical perspective of substance use

along with the biological, psychological, and

social factors that comprise the disease of

addiction. Upon course completion, the learner

will better understand the complex dynamics

that contribute to this biological and social

phenomenon.

Educational Assessment: Assessing Student Learning in the Classroom

This course is designed to further develop

the conceptual and technical skills required

by teachers to help them identify their

educational goals, and implement meaningful

instructional strategies for effective learning

by students with special needs. The focus of

the course is on assessment for instructional

programming and will outline procedures for

designing or selecting, administering and

interpreting, a variety of informal assessment

measures typically used in schools. The

presentation of assessment information in an

acceptable format to parents and teachers is also

addressed.

Harassment, Bullying and Cyber-Intimidation in Schools

Harassment, Bullying & Cyber-Intimidation

in Schools will discuss definitions and the

personal, social, and legal ramifications

associated with sexual harassment, bullying,

and cyber-intimidation. The course will address

what we know about these troubling areas. We

will then explore preventative strategies as well

as how school staff can address these issues

when they occur. A clear understanding of what

constitutes harassment and the harmful effects

of harassment on people and institutions is

essential to providing a safe and inclusive school

environment for all.

Inclusion: Working with Studentswith Special Needs in GeneralEducation Classrooms

This course is designed to help special and

general educators gain a better understanding

of inclusion, one of the current educational

reform movements that advocates educating

students with disabilities in the general education

classrooms. Upon course completion, the

learner will be able to define key concepts and

of a close, positive partnership with parents

or alternative caregivers, and explores methods

for ensuring that the home-school axis is

effective and meaningful. Major trends and

unresolved issues in the field of learning

disabilities are also discussed.

Naturalist Series:Landscape Geology

Have you ever wondered what geological

forces shaped the landscape of the park?

Come spend two days exploring the geology

of Yellowstone, learning how to read the land.

Traveling through the park to places like the

northern range, Yellowstone Lake, and Mount

Washburn. You’ll find evidence of glaciers,

hydrothermal expansions, and volcanic

eruptions. You’ll keep your observations in

a journal, looking carefully at the landscape

while creating simple drawings, lists, and

descriptions of the terrain over which you

travel.

Naturalist Series: Thermal Geology and Biology

At a glance, the waters of Yellowstone’s

magnificent thermal features offer bright

colors and stunning photographic opportunities.

But look closely and you’ll find they are teeming

with a hidden world full of tiny, heat-loving

microscopic organisms. Visit enormous

terrace formations, steaming pools and diverse

communities of microbes to learn about

different thermal life forms. You’ll also gain an

understanding about the volcanic forces deep

underground driving the heat and water systems

that define this microbial community. Use field

journaling to capture your observations, both

large and small, from geothermal landscapes to

microscopic life.

Reading & Writing in Content Area

Reading & Writing in Content Area offers

instruction in teaching reading and writing in

various subject matter fields at the secondary

level. The material stresses the skills of

vocabulary building, comprehension, and

writing, as well as methods for motivating

adolescents to read and write. The course also

provides information on recognizing reading

difficulties, assessing textbooks, and the

integration of reading strategies within a content

area. The strategies taught are aligned with the

Praxis Reading Across the Curriculum test guide

and the Reading in the Content Area national

standards.

Reading Fundamentals #1:An Introduction to Scientifically-based Research

The purpose of this course is to improve

your knowledge of science and the scientific

process. This is the first course in a three-

course series. This course is designed to be an

informational course with application to

educational settings. The curriculum suggestions

and teaching strategies explained here were

designed to be used for the teaching and

remediation of students in kindergarten

through sixth grade and an age range from

approximately five years to twelve years of age.

Some alterations may be needed if working

with specific populations such as gifted, ESL, or

special education.

Reading Fundamentals #2:Laying the Foundation for EffectiveReading Instruction

Designed to lay the foundation for effective

reading instruction, this course will teach you

about the elements of effective instruction

and the importance of reading instruction.

The purpose of this second course in this

three-course series is to lay the foundation

for effective reading instruction. As part of

this course, you will learn about the elements

of effective instruction. It is important that

all teachers have a firm understanding of

effective instructional procedures. Teachers

benefit, and more importantly, students benefit,

both in terms of their behavior and their

academic performance. Further, you will learn

about the importance of reading instruction

and read some sobering statistics on reading

performance in this country and what happens

when individuals are not proficient in reading.

Reading Fundamentals #3:The Elements of Effective ReadingInstruction and Assessment

This course will focus on learning to read,

reading to learn, and an introduction to

reading assessment. As part of these two key

areas of reading instruction, the five elements

of effective reading instruction will be

highlighted, including definitions, implications

for instruction, and future directions. These five

elements include instruction in: phonemic

awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and

text comprehension. Additionally, the course

will provide information on important

assessment terms and definitions and will

explore how reading assessment fits within the

Reading First Program. This analysis includes

specific recommendations on 29 reading

assessments. Finally, the course describes

how teachers can conduct pivotal curriculum-

based measurement procedures in their

classrooms.

Response to Intervention:Practical Information for theClassroom Teacher

RTI, or Response to Intervention, is a process

schools can and should use to help students

who are struggling with academics or

behavior. Even though RTI is primarily linked

to special education and the early identification

of learning problems, RTI is not just for students

in special education. RTI is for all students and

is based on the premise that a student might be

struggling due to instruction or the curriculum

in the past, or in the current classroom. Every

teacher will have students who are struggling

and whether it’s short term or long term, RTI

is a valuable tool. So, welcome to the class on

Response to Intervention where you will learn

what RTI is and how to use it in your classroom.
