Kids Who Challenge Us: Increasing Work Engagement and Reducing Oppositional Behaviors in Students, Jessica Minahan, PhD., BCBA

  • Among the many reasons new teachers leave the field within their first five years, disruptive students are on the top of the list. Without intervention, these children are at risk for poor performance, diminished learning, and social/behavior problems in school. Overwhelming, negative, and inaccurate thoughts can contribute to student disengagement. When this is the case, traditional suggestions such as incentives, offering breaks, graphic organizers, or even checklists will not help the student initiate an activity. As a result of this virtual workshop, participants will be able to easily implement preventive tools, strategies, and interventions for reducing oppositional behavior, increasing work engagement, initiation, persistence, and self-monitoring.

Eisenhower Cooperative E-Learning Plan

Public Act 101-0012 of the 101st Illinois General Assembly allows local school districts to establish plans to utilize e-learning days in lieu of emergency days.  E-learning is approved by the state of Illinois as a way for students to have educational experiences and instructions when the school has an emergency closure. The proposed plan outlines the considerations, structures and procedures for the use of e-learning days at Eisenhower Cooperative.
