TBRI - Attachment for Education
LIMITED
Wednesday September 2, 2026 8:40am - 9:40am PDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Children’s socioemotional well-being is the foundation of their school success, and attachment is at the core of that foundation. This workshop will explore how early attachment experiences create a “blueprint” for relationships and how those patterns show up in the classroom. Educators will also consider how their own attachment style interacts with students’ styles - and how this awareness can lead to more effective, compassionate, and empowering responses to challenging behavior.

Kindergarten Thinking Strategies and Assessment Strategies: iPad, Anchor Charts, and Hand Motions!
LIMITED
Wednesday September 2, 2026 9:50am - 10:50am PDT
Limited Capacity seats available
I’d love to share a handy tech tip—using an iPad as a mobile document camera—so students can easily display and talk through their thinking without bringing manipulatives to the front. I’ll also walk you through Kindergarten proficiency scales and thinking strategies, plus primary-friendly anchor charts and simple hand motions to help students remember them. I can show how to weave these strategies across standards (not just in reading)—for example, using monitor-for-meaning/determine-importance in word problems or applying synthesizing strategies to shapes.
