Building Your AP Program Webinar Series: Make Honors Count, Earn Recognition Colleges Trust
Deciding which AP courses to offer, and where they fit best, is one of the most consequential choices a school or district makes for student access. The Building Your AP Program Webinar Series is designed to support that work, introducing the new AP® Course Sets as a practical way to match AP courses to the priorities you are already pursuing, whether that is expanding access with a first AP course, adding a nationally recognized AP signal to your honors courses, or bringing college-level AP courses into your CTE pathways. Each session gives those who shape course offerings, from district leaders and content specialists to school leaders and AP coordinators, a clear starting point for building a program that reflects local goals. This session, Make Honors Count, begins with the rigorous work already happening in your classrooms, where students take demanding honors courses that colleges cannot always see. We will show how converting select honors courses to AP makes that rigor visible through a nationally recognized signal, why an AP course is often easier for colleges to interpret than honors alone, and how the shift strengthens the academic record students present in admissions. You will leave with strategies to build your AP program focused on recognition, including how to identify which honors courses are the strongest candidates to convert, so more students stand out for the advanced work they are already doing. By participating in this event, you consent to being recorded and you agree that College Board may publish the recording on College Board’s website and share the recording with those who register for this event.

Social-Emotional & Behavioral MTSS: Building a Trauma-Informed System of Support
If it feels like your school is constantly reacting to behavior instead of preventing it, you're not alone, and there's a better way forward. Strategies alone don't transform schools; effective systems do. A strong social-emotional and behavioral MTSS creates the conditions where students feel safe, connected, and ready to learn, and where educators feel equipped, not overwhelmed. Participants will learn how to build a coherent, schoolwide system of support that is proactive, practical, and trauma-informed, grounded in what we know about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the mindset shift of behavior as communication. Attend live in person at NIU Naperville, live online, or on demand for 30 days. Fees: PD365 members $269; non-members $359 (includes one year of membership); students/retirees $99. Virtual attendance requires a minimum of 10 total attendees. The published schedule does not state a time zone; the displayed time assumes Central Time.

Can You Predict Your Next Teacher Shortage?
If you knew today which staffing gaps could threaten your district’s priorities next year, what would you do differently? Teacher shortages are often treated as an HR challenge. But when staffing gaps affect class sizes, special education services, program growth, student outcomes, budgets, and district priorities, they become a leadership challenge. District leaders already have signals that can help them anticipate where staffing risk is building. Certification timelines, recurring vacancies, turnover patterns, hard-to-staff roles, and internal talent pipelines can all provide an earlier view of where shortages may emerge. In this timely conversation, superintendents and district leaders will explore how to use those signals to look ahead, identify areas of potential staffing pressure, and make earlier decisions about where to recruit, develop, or retain educators — moving from reacting to vacancies to planning 6–18 months ahead. Bring your HR lead.

Building Your AP Program Webinar Series: Career Kickstart, Connect AP to Career Pathways
Deciding which AP courses to offer, and where they fit best, is one of the most consequential choices a school or district makes for student access. The Building Your AP Program Webinar Series is designed to support that work, introducing the new AP® Course Sets as a practical way to match AP courses to the priorities you are already pursuing, whether that is expanding access with a first AP course, adding a nationally recognized AP signal to your honors courses, or bringing college-level AP courses into your CTE pathways. Each session gives those who shape course offerings, from district leaders and content specialists to school leaders and AP coordinators, a clear starting point for building a program that reflects local goals. This session, Career Kickstart, begins with the students who want their learning to connect to real careers. We will introduce AP Career Kickstart™, a new group of AP courses (AP Business with Personal Finance and AP Cybersecurity, both launching in 2026 to 2027) designed to fit into existing CTE pathways and show how they bring college-level learning into high-demand fields while inviting a broader range of students into advanced coursework. You will leave with strategies to build your AP program focused on career-connected learning, including how these courses fit alongside your CTE programs of study and how students can earn college credit along with an employer-endorsed credential, so more students can pursue a path that leads to college, credentials, and in-demand careers. By participating in this event, you consent to being recorded and you agree that College Board may publish the recording on College Board’s website and share the recording with those who register for this event.

Digital Detectives: Critical Thinking in an AI World
AI-generated content is everywhere, and it is often convincing. Students need more than "don't trust everything you read" to navigate it. This session builds real critical-thinking habits grounded in research, not reflexive skepticism, and gives you a structured fact-checking process to teach directly. Leave with classroom-ready strategies and language for talking with students about AI-generated misinformation. As a result of this session, teachers will: explain the research-based distinction between critical thinking and blanket skepticism; apply a structured fact-checking process to evaluate AI-generated content; and design a classroom conversation or activity that teaches students to fact-check AI-generated content independently. Fully participate to earn a certificate of completion.

This training covers who needs lethal means counseling and how to work with people at risk for suicide - and their families - to reduce access. Opportunities to work through case scenarios and practice lethal means counseling will be provided.

From Prediction to Prevention: A New Approach to Improving Student Attendance
Attendance data should do more than show schools what has already happened. Two students who have missed a similar number of days may face very different attendance risks. New research from Panorama’s Data Science team found that students whose absences are spread across multiple distinct events are more likely to continue missing school than students whose absences happen in one continuous stretch. These patterns can give educators an earlier signal for determining when—and how—students need support. Join Panorama for a conversation about moving from early identification of attendance patterns to effective intervention and consistent follow-through. You’ll also hear how Earlville CUSD 9 built a relationship-centered approach that helped improve high school attendance from 61% to 90%.

How We Broke Reading Comprehension — and How We Can Fix It
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.
