Description: Join us for a tour of Morningside Academy, a school that helps elementary and middle school students to catch up and get ahead by integrating a number of research-based instructional technologies, including direct instruction, Precision Teaching, and talk aloud problem solving, all within a behavior analysis framework. Most Morningside students did not perform to their potential in their previous schools, have average to above average IQs, and may have diagnoses such as ADHD and mild learning disabilities. Our Foundations program includes reading, language arts, and math, with both basic skills and thinking, reasoning, and problem solving skills embedded in each. Students enrolled in the Middle School program master foundation skills, how to succeed in content courses, and project based learning strategies. Morningside Academy offers a money-back guarantee for progressing 2 years in 1 in the skill of greatest deficit, and in 32 years has returned less than 1%. After the tour, we will conduct a mini workshop in Precision Teaching procedures. Participants will have many opportunities to discuss ways to connect what we do with their work settings. We will also offer an afternoon tour that will focus upon direct instruction. Participants may register for both morning and afternoon sessions.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

Define and describe the population of Morningside Academy's students, the curriculum taught to students, the instructional methods used to teach the curriculum,the six essential ingredients of Precision Teaching, the advantages of measuring performance celeration, and how to use the timings chart with the daily chart

Activities: Participants will participate in an introductory presentation, a school tour, and a 1-hour workshop about Precision Teaching. Meet at the designated workshop room, and we will walk together to our transportation to Morningside, about 1 mile away.
Audience: Anyone interested in learning more about Morningside Academy is welcome to attend.
