Attendees should be a dministrators or district leaders that will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Check &\; Connect program for the district an d/or individual schools.

Check &\; Connect is a research-base d and evidence-based intervention designed to support student engagement f or K-12 students who show warning signs of disengagement with school and w ho are at risk of dropping out. At the core of Check &\; Connect is a t rusting relationship between the student and a caring\, trained mentor who both advocates for and challenges the student to keep education as a prio rity. This program has 4 Core Components: Mentor\, Check\, Connect\, and F amily Engagement and has met the evidence standards of the What Works Clea ringhouse. Check and Connect is the only dropout prevention intervention t o show positive effects for staying in school!
The Check &\; Connect Preparation &\; Implementation Training provides administrators and le adership teams with a step-by-step guide to developing a solid plan for im plementation of the Check and Connect program. This training is required p rior to district implementation. After participation in the Preparation &a mp\; Implementation Training\, selected mentors will then participate in a separate Check and Connect Mentor Training (two days in person).

FACE to FACE

This full-day profession al learning session equips grades 6–12 ELA teachers and PLC teams with a structured protocol for designing coherent\, standards-aligned common ass essments.
Grounded in a backward design framework\, this session walks participants through a step-by-step assessment development process that be gins with standards deconstruction and ends with calibration for scoring c onsistency.

Participants will learn how to:
*Deconstruct standard s to identify the cognitive demand and content focus
*Define clear “e vidence of mastery” look-fors across grade levels
*Design formative a ssessments that isolate specific skills
*Construct summative assessment s that authentically integrate standards
*Align assessment items to app ropriate DOK levels (including DOK 1–4)
*Conduct access and equity ch ecks to ensure fair measurement
*Use calibration protocols to strengthe n scoring reliability


This session moves assessment from task cr eation to intentional measurement—ensuring that what is assessed truly r eflects the depth and intent of the standards.

In the early grades\, the goal is not faster answers. It is stronger thinking.
This one day workshop focuses on how young learners develop number sense and confidence through meaningf ul problem solving\, not through memorized steps or isolated strategies. T ogether\, we will look closely at how students reason about numbers\, how that thinking develops over time\, and how our instructional choices eithe r support or short circuit that growth.
Using rich tasks\, classroom vi deo\, and student work\, we will explore key progressions in counting\, ad dition\, and subtraction. We will focus on how to invite all students into the mathematics\, listen for what they understand\, and respond in ways t hat move their thinking forward without rushing them toward procedures.
Teachers will leave with practical routines\, clearer progressions\, and a stronger lens for noticing and responding to student thinking in real ti me.

By grade s 3–5\, students are often shown what to do before they understand why i t works. This workshop is about slowing that down.
In this one day sess ion\, we will focus on helping students make sense of whole numbers and fr actions through reasoning\, representations\, and meaningful problem conte xts. Rather than adding more strategies to an already crowded toolbox\, we will examine how students develop flexibility and understanding across ad dition\, subtraction\, multiplication\, division\, and fractions.
Parti cipants will engage in tasks that surface student thinking and common misc onceptions\, then explore instructional moves that keep the math front and center while honoring different ways of thinking. We will look at how to support the shift from additive to multiplicative reasoning and how that t hinking lays the groundwork for fractions.
Teachers and leaders will le ave with a clearer picture of the learning progressions in grades 3–5 an d concrete ways to support students in explaining\, refining\, and extendi ng their thinking.

This full-day professional learning e xperience supports Grade 6 and Grade 7 ELA teachers in implementing the Ge orgia Milestones Peer Revision Task (PRT) with clarity\, confidence\, and instructional precision.
Grounded in the Georgia Department of Educatio n’s Classroom Peer Revision Guidance resources\, this session unpacks th e 3-Trait rubric (Purpose &\; Organization\, Evidence &\; Elaboratio n\, Language Usage &\; Conventions) and demonstrates how to move studen ts from surface-level editing to standards-based analytical revision.
< /p>

Participants will:
*Analyze the structure and intent of the Peer Revision Task
*Explore the 3-part guided questioning model
*Practice designing mini-lessons aligned to rubric traits
*Apply gradual release (model ? guided ? collaborative ? independent) to revision          instruction
*Examine sample item stems and transform them into daily cl assroom instruction
*Develop practical strategies to build student meta cognition\, ownership\, and analytical        writing skills
This s ession bridges assessment expectations with strong writing instruction—e nsuring that peer revision becomes a powerful learning tool rather than a compliance activity.

This professional learnin g experience is designed specifically for special education teachers (6th- 12th grades) seeking to strengthen their knowledge and practice in transit ion planning for students with disabilities. Participants will deepen thei r understanding of legally compliant transition requirements while moving beyond compliance to develop meaningful\, student-centered transition plan s that lead to successful post-secondary outcomes.
This training experi ence will focus on writing compliant\, measurable transition plans aligned with IDEA requirements\, including age-appropriate transition assessments \, measurable postsecondary goals\, coordinated services\, and annual IEP goals connected to students’ future aspirations. Participants will analy ze sample transition plans\, identify common compliance pitfalls\, and pra ctice writing high-quality\, defensible transition components.
In addit ion to compliance\, this professional learning experience will highlight a variety of formal and informal transition assessments as well as resource s and tools that support students as they prepare to Employ\, Enroll\, or Enlist after high school. Educators will explore strategies to connect stu dents with workforce development programs\, college and technical training pathways\, and military readiness resources. This training will also pro vide tools for fostering student self-advocacy\, career exploration\, inde pendent living skills\, and interagency collaboration.
By the end of the training\, participants will leave with the following:
A clear unde rstanding of compliant transition planning requirements
Templates and e xemplars for writing strong transition plan components
Practical tools and community resource connections

This full-day professiona l learning session supports grades 6–12 ELA teachers in implementing the integrated design of Georgia’s Interpreting and Constructing standards.
Across the Language and Texts domains\, standards are intentionally pa ired to move students from analyzing how texts work (Interpreting) to appl ying those same techniques in their own writing and multimodal composition s (Constructing). Rather than teaching reading and writing as separate un its\, this session demonstrates how analysis becomes rehearsal for craft. Teachers will explore how standards in syntax\, vocabulary\, context\, str ucture\, style\, techniques\, and research are designed to function as rec iprocal processes.

Participants will:
*Examine the alignment bet ween Interpreting (I) and Constructing (C) standards
*Analyze how inter preting tasks prepare students for constructing tasks
*Design lessons t hat move students from analysis to application
*Create instructional se quences that embed reading\, writing\, research\, and discussion       together
*Explore assessment implications for integrated standards

This session reframes instruction from “reading block” and “wri ting unit” to a coherent literacy model in which students learn to think \, analyze\, and create with purpose.

FACE to FACE

This full-day profession al learning session supports grades 6–12 ELA teachers in understanding a nd implementing Georgia’s updated Techniques standards within the Texts domain. Students are no longer writing in isolated modes such as “narrat ive\,” “expository\,” or “argumentative.” Instead\, they are exp ected to analyze\, apply\, and blend techniques to shape meaning according to purpose and audience. Writers may incorporate narrative elements\, exp ository structures\, argumentative reasoning\, and even poetic craft withi n a single text.
This session helps teachers make that instructional sh ift with clarity and confidence.

Participants will:
*Unpack t he Big Idea of Techniques and its grade-level progression
*Examine how narrative\, expository\, argumentative\, and poetic techniques function as         tools—not text types
*Analyze mentor texts that blend mul tiple techniques
*Practice designing technique-driven writing tasks
*Develop scaffolds to help students recognize techniques while interpretin g texts
*Create instructional plans that support students in blending t echniques effectively
*Teachers will leave prepared to teach writing th rough craft and purpose\, rather than          isolated modes.

Strive for Five Conversations: A Framework That Gets Kids Talking to Accelerate Their Language Comprehension and Literacy

Strong reading comprehension begins long before students read i ndependently—it is built through rich\, purposeful talk. In this profess ional learning session\, participants will explore the Strive for Five conversation framework (Zucker &\; Cabell) as a practical tool fo r deepening student thinking\, extending oral language\, and strengthening comprehension during instruction.

Participants will learn how to mo ve beyond surface-level questioning and instead facilitate sustained\, bac k-and-forth academic conversations that require students to explain\, just ify\, and refine their thinking. The framework helps educators intentional ly structure talk moves that extend dialogue for at least five meaningful turns\, gradually increasing cognitive demand while keeping all learners e ngaged.

Throughout the session\, educators will:

  • Understa nd the research base connecting oral language development to reading compr ehension and academic achievement
  • Analyze the structure of Strive for Five conversations and how they support gradual release of cognitive r esponsibility
  • Practice crafting sequences of questions that build from concrete understanding to abstract reasoning
  • Explore strategi es for scaffolding student responses to support both emerging and advanced language users
  • Plan for implementation during read alouds\, small group instruction\, and content-area discussions

This session is highly interactive and grounded in classroom application. Participants will leave with ready-to-use questioning sequences\, planning tools\, and a clearer understanding of how intentional talk can accelerate language d evelopment and deepen comprehension across all grade levels.

Rigor isn’t about making tasks har der—it’s about increasing the level of thinking students are asked to do. This professional learning session equips teachers with the tools to i ntentionally design lessons that align to the cognitive demands of standar ds using Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK) framework.

Participants will unpack grade-level standards to identify expected levels of thinking and examine how DOK varies across interpreting and constructing tasks. Thr ough guided analysis\, teachers will distinguish between task difficulty a nd cognitive complexity\, evaluate current lessons and assessments for ali gnment\, and refine instructional plans to better reflect the depth requir ed by the standards.

This interactive session includes collaborativ e activities\, real classroom examples\, and practical planning time. Teac hers will leave with:

A clear understanding of DOK levels and their application across content areas

A process for unpacking standards to determine intended cognitive demand

Strategies for evaluating a nd revising tasks\, questions\, and assessments

A ready-to-use plan ning approach for designing high-DOK learning experiences

By the en d of the session\, teachers will be able to plan with purpose—ensuring t hat instruction moves beyond coverage to truly engage students in deep\, m eaningful thinking.
