  Learning Support at SGS

  11/7/2022 5:45 PM to 7:00 PM

  Please join us for a discussion with Megan Reimann about understanding and supporting individuals with learning differences at home, and at school. Megan will discuss ways to support, and advocate for individuals diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, executive functioning delays, mental health challenges and other specific "learning disabilities" such as dyslexia. She will also discuss, and answer questions regarding IEP's, 504 plans and appropriate accommodations, as well as how to best prepare our students for transitioning to high school and post secondary education. Megan is here at SGS, working with our learning support team, from the Hallowell Todaro ADHD Center and brings her 25 plus years experience in education as a classroom teacher, special educator, and education consultant with a focus on advocating for individuals with learning differences and supporting neurodiversity in all settings.

  Who is allowed to say the N!word? What do we do or say when the N!word is said in our classrooms, hallways, practices, cafeterias and resident halls? Ignoring the N!Word is not an option anymore - You can hear N!Word everywhere nowadays. Participants are challenged to examine their personal/professional histories with N!Word when and/or how they first heard N!Word and pictures/feelings associated with the word. The workshop encourages all people, but specifically future leaders, educators and parents, to consider the ramifications of casual or uniformed usage of a powerful and troublesome word.

  Participants will leave the session with:

  • a heightened understanding of the impact of the word, especially on our youth;

  • strategies for eliminating the word from school/curriculum;

  • resources for continued growth and development of strategies for addressing difficult conversations.
