Tom Murray serves as the Director of Innovation for Future Ready Schools®, a project of the Alliance for Excellent Education, located in Washington, D.C. He has testified before the United States Congress and has worked alongside that body, the US Senate, the White House, the US Department of Education and state departments of education, corporations, and school districts throughout the country to implement student-centered learning while helping to lead Future Ready Schools® and Digital Learning Day. His best-selling book, Learning Transformed: 8 Keys to Designing Tomorrow’s Schools, Today, is co-authored with Eric Sheninger and published by ASCD. His next book, Personal & Authentic, is due out in mid-October. Prior to moving to his role in Washington, D.C., Murray served as an elementary teacher, middle school teacher, middle school principal, elementary principal, and director of technology & cyber education for the Quakertown Community School District in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Amie Dean has a passion for the problem students of the world. The students who are disrespectful, defiant, broken, and shut down have been a part of her every day for 25 years. As a former special education teacher, Amie spent many years teaching in classrooms with the most challenging students on campus and found a way to reach each and every one. She believes most teachers truly want to help these students – want to believe in them – but are not trained on HOW to do it. This has become Amie’s new personal mission – to help teachers implement positive, practical strategies in their classrooms to save our most challenging students – and themselves. Teach Hard. Love Harder.

Carol Dissen has worked for the Center on Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon for the past 14 years coordinating the delivery and implementation of federally funded literacy grants and technical assistance projects. For over twenty years Carol has delivered school, regional, state, national, and international professional development workshops and in-building coaching and model lessons to support evidence-based practices to educators. Carol has worked extensively in the areas of building strong Tier I systems of instruction, intensification of interventions for non-responders, literacy leadership to support a strong Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS), and is one of the authors of the Enhanced Core Reading Instruction curriculum. Prior to joining the team at the Center on Teaching and Learning, she worked in elementary schools as a K-6 literacy coach, Title 1 reading teacher, and classroom teacher.

Katie Garner, M.Ed. (author of best-selling book, Secret Stories® Cracking the Reading Code with the Brain in Mind) is an internationally known keynote speaker, author and literacy consultant with twenty-five years of experience working in elementary grade classrooms across the country, and a passion for infusing neuroscience into literacy and learning! Her “backdoor-to-the-brain” approach to fast-tracking phonics skills for reading and writing, via social-emotional learning channels, shifts the paradigms associated with traditional reading instruction and has gained national recognition with the No Child Left Behind, Reading First, and RTI Initiatives. Katie is an annually featured and keynote speaker at education conferences across the United States and abroad, including an ongoing keynote series with North American literacy leaders, Richard Allington (What Really Matters for Struggling Readers) and Anne Cunningham (The National Early Literacy Panel “NELP” Report) at the Vulnerable Learners Summits. Her dynamic presentations spotlight brain-changing strategies for accelerating early learner-access to the code by boosting existing reading curriculum and phonics instruction with the latest neural research showing how our brains actually learn best! Katie’s practical and proven methods for bringing neuroscience into the forefront of literacy and learning have been shared in both lecture and panel discussions at Harvard University and MIT, and are the subject of an upcoming professional development book series. https://www.KatieGarner.com

411 - Dyslexia Screening with DIBELS 8

Presenter: Pilger Suhr, Marissa Audience: K-3 ELA Learning Objective: P articipants will leave the presentation understanding how DIBELS 8 fits into dyslexia screening programs, especially in multi-tiered systems of support. Come to this presentation to learn about dyslexia screening with DIBELS 8. Just under half of the United States requires elementary schools to screen students for dyslexia in the early grades. DIBELS is the most widely-recognized dyslexia screener among state education agencies. This presentation provides an overview of DIBELS 8’s features and technical adequacy and its utility for dyslexia screening. This presentation will provide an overview of an approach to dyslexia screening using CBMs, using examples from four updated DIBELS 8 measures (LNF, PSF, NWF, and WRF) that have been validated as dyslexia screeners. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about how DIBELS 8 data can be used to support dyslexia screening.

413 - Effective and Efficient Progress Monitoring: How to make well-informed and timely decisions about the instructional needs of your students

Presenter: Smith, Sara Audience: K-3 ELA Learning Objective: P articipants will inventory the tools they have available for assessment and progress monitoring to identify the skills they address, where programs overlap, and where there are skill gaps. Participants will identify tools that can be used for screening students and diagnosing skill gaps. Participants will develop an efficient progress monitoring plan to track student progress and growth in specific areas of need so they can know if interventions are successful. Screening, diagnosing, and progress monitoring are essential to making sure that all students become fluent readers. Teachers can be overwhelmed by too many assessments and programs or, conversely, lack the tools they need to make informed instructional decisions for their students. Sometimes, teachers don’t even know which assessments and tools are at their disposal! Through facilitated discussion, this session will help teachers inventory the tools they have available so they can identify which students need support, pinpoint skill deficits, develop intervention plans, and efficiently progress monitor student growth.

414 - OH WOW! Maker Spaces in Your Classroom

Presenter: Urbach, Ralf Audience: PK-3 STEM Learning Objective: P articipants will increase their critical thinking & knowledge about STEM. Out of the box ideas to help with providing engaging STEM activities for your students.
