If AI can produce what we have been asking for, what were we actually asking for? This session is not about AI detection, policy or cheating; it addresses an older problem: assessment built around collecting output and predetermined outcomes rather than witnessing genuine learning.

Behavioral interventions for ADHD symptoms emphasize functional alternatives to maladaptive behaviors, guided by reinforcement principles and behavioral function. Contemporary evidence indicates ADHD is fundamentally a disorder of performance - the inconsistent application of intact skills - rather than a deficit of motivation or skill acquisition, and is closely associated with executive function impairments such as regulating attention and sustaining task engagement. This session shows how ABA practitioners can strengthen outcomes by scaffolding executive function alongside traditional function-based approaches, emphasizing the interplay of antecedents, behaviors and consequences. Offered in partnership with LSGurdin Consulting; BCBAs are eligible for CEs through LSGurdin Consulting.

Sat, October 3, 2026 · 9:00 AM EDT · TESOL International Association · Free

A free webinar from TESOL's Computer-Assisted Language Learning Interest Section (CALL-IS). Language teachers and teacher educators increasingly face consequential decisions about generative AI — what to adopt, permit, and convey to students — often without understanding how these systems operate.

Drawing on complex dynamic systems theory, it explores the challenges generic technologies face in accommodating the complexity of language, demonstrates the live, no-code development of small applications designed for a specific lesson and group of learners, and examines systematic errors in AI pronunciation assessment, arguing for interdisciplinary collaboration between applied linguistics and computer science.

Most conversations about AI in education focus on saving time grading faster or planning quicker. This session flips that lens: participants use AI as a thinking partner for their own growth, setting goals, reflecting on practice, and building a professional learning plan grounded in research, not hype.

As a result of this session, teachers will: apply AI tools to support a personal or professional goal-setting and reflection process; evaluate AI habits and practices worth modeling for students; and design a personal professional learning plan that incorporates at least one AI-supported strategy. Fully participate to earn a certificate of completion.

What if many of our well-intentioned literacy practices have unintentionally weakened reading comprehension instruction? In this session, we examine a research-based definition of comprehension and how many schools inadvertently shifted away from instruction that develops it. Most importantly, we focus on what educators can do instead: practical, evidence-informed approaches rooted in the science of comprehension and tested in classrooms. Participants will leave with a framework for analyzing comprehension challenges, along with concrete strategies and resources they can use immediately. Applicable to teachers K-12, with particular emphasis on grades 5+, instructional leaders, literacy coaches and administrators.
