This is achieved by developing skills to create mental images and comparing new images to pre-existing images\, which enhances cognitive abilities such as exploration\, logical reasoning\, and hypothetical thinking. \nUltimately\, this approach fosters more structured and efficient learning processes. Further\, the visualization skills that are developed in FIE Tactile positively impact reading comprehension and listening comprehension. \nPre-requisite: FIE Standard 1 or FIE Basic 1 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dates & Times\n \n \n \n \n \n Attendance at all five sessions is required.  \n\nMonday\, April 15\, 2024\, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm EST\nTuesday\, April 16\, 2024\, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm EST\nWednesday\, April 17\, 2024\, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm EST\nThursday\, April 18\, 2024\, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm EST\nFriday\, April 19\, 2024\, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm EST\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n Meadowvale Community Church2630 Inlake Court\, Mississauga\, ON\, L5N 2A7 \n \n \n \n \n \n Cost\n \n \n \n \n \n Regular Rate: $1\,575.00 \nCost includes materials. \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Deadline\n \n \n \n \n \n March 15\, 2024 \nPlease note: Absolutely no registrations or cancellations after the deadline for this course.  URL:https://nildcanada.org/event/fie-tactile-april-2024/ CATEGORIES:FIE Tactile ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nildcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Tactile-IE.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240412T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240412T163000 DTSTAMP:20240402T205422Z CREATED:20240110T205236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240402T205422Z UID:10000144-1712925000-1712939400@nildcanada.org SUMMARY:Spelling: Linking Reading and Writing DESCRIPTION:Spelling abilities link to both reading and writing. Spelling is one of the most sensitive indicators of a learning disability and can be one of the most challenging abilities for students with dyslexia to develop. \nAs educators and parents\, we can feel at a loss when we don’t see a meaningful change in our students’ spelling abilities and test scores. Thankfully\, there are ways to explicitly guide students through Structured Word Inquiry and spelling investigation to develop their skills. Sound boxes\, word sums\, lexical matrices\, and etymology activities are key tools to help students make sense of spelling. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This training workshop will enhance your ability to develop students’ concepts of spelling\, understand spelling misconceptions\, evaluate students’ writing samples\, and use a multi-modal structured literacy approach to building students’ spelling skills.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Date & Time\n \n \n \n \n \n Friday\, April 12\, 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM EST \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n Meadowvale Community Church2630 Inlake Court\, Mississauga\, ON\, L5N 2A7 \n \n \n \n \n \n Cost\n \n \n \n \n \n $250.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n There are no required texts for this workshop. \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Deadline\n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 URL:https://nildcanada.org/event/spelling-linking-reading-and-writing/ CATEGORIES:Spelling Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nildcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2493.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240412 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240414 DTSTAMP:20240920T175226Z CREATED:20231128T161023Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240920T175226Z UID:10000141-1712880000-1713052799@nildcanada.org SUMMARY:NILD Canada Annual Conference 2024 DESCRIPTION:If intelligence is the ability to adapt to the environment\, then in the educational realm\, the development of our students’ cognitive skills should be our top objective. \nEvery day we all face countless choices with overwhelming options. Each decision requires us to rationally\, systematically\, prioritize the plethora of data and choose the best option for the greatest result. Well-developed thinking skills are essential to help us choose wisely.  \nTo support our students in developing these skills\, we must be equipped with the tools to mediate and encourage them to think about their thinking. \nDid you know that… \n“a modern person is exposed to more stimuli in a 24-hour period than medieval man was exposed to in his entire lifetime!” Beyond Smarter\, Feuerstein et al\, 2010. \nWe are excited to share this theme of The Thinking Brain: Cognitive Strategies for Life at our 24th Annual Conference! We will unpack the cognitive functions and strategies that inform our thinking skills and those of our students. How does ‘blurred and sweeping perception’ or ‘episodic grasp of reality’ or ‘unsystematic search’ affect our everyday choices? \nOur keynote speaker\, Lorri Wilke\, an expert in Feuerstein’s work on cognitive functions and the brain\, will share her expertise with us\, both theoretically and practically.

We all use these executive function skills to help us learn\, work\, and manage the tasks that face us each day! \nResearch studies suggest that well-developed executive function skills are actually more predictive of academic success than measures of intelligence. Thankfully these cognitive skills can be spurred to development with instruction and repeated practice. \nThis training workshop will increase your understanding of executive function skills and provide you with practical ways to promote and coach their development. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Date & Time\n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday\, February 24\, 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM EST \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n This course will be offered entirely online\, through Zoom. \nSince it is online\, it is very important for you to have a laptop or desktop computer (PC or MAC) with camera\, audio and microphone capability as well as a reliable internet connection. \n \n \n \n \n \n Cost\n \n \n \n \n \n $375.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n These are the required texts to purchase and read in advance of the course: \n\nPromoting Executive Function in the Classroom\nCoaching Students with Executive Skills Deficits\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Deadline\n \n \n \n \n \n February 9\, 2024 URL:https://nildcanada.org/event/executive-function-workshop-feb-2024/ CATEGORIES:Executive Function Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nildcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/0031.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240213T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240213T210000 DTSTAMP:20240125T183011Z CREATED:20240125T183008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240125T183011Z UID:10000147-1707854400-1707858000@nildcanada.org SUMMARY:Rx Workshop Info Session DESCRIPTION:Do you know students who do not have a diagnosis or a psycho-educational assessment\, but do require some explicit support in reading\, writing or math?

Rx 4 Math I is specifically intended for students in grades K-5 who would benefit from early intervention or whose basic math skills are below expected standards as determined by a local educational agency.  \nRx 4 Math I will build and strengthen number sense\, math fluency\, math vocabulary\, and problem solving strategies within three 30-minute or two 45-minute weekly small group sessions. Students who need to master basic number sense skills as well as those who rely on procedural understanding without a conceptual understanding would benefit the most from this program. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Students will be challenged to apply their growing understanding of number sense to novel problem solving activities that challenge thinking and reasoning. Hands-on\, research-based\, number sense activities will be utilized as the core content in this dynamic intervention while mediation\, Socratic questioning\, and the strengthening of cognitive functions will serve as the core methodology. In this dynamic intervention\, students’ foundational math concepts will be strengthened while their thinking and problem solving skills will be challenged\, all within an atmosphere where math anxiety is reduced and thinking is maximized. \nThis workshop has two parts: \nAsychronous Learning Activities (approx. 8 hours pre-workshop): includes watching PPT lectures\, completing a knowledge assessment\, reading research/journal articles and reviewing online resources. \nSynchronous Virtual Classroom Instruction (8 hours Zoom online): includes lectures and demonstrations with other participants. \n \n \n \n \n \n Dates & Times\n \n \n \n \n \n Asynchronous:Can be started as soon as you register for the course. \nSynchronous:January 6\, 20248:30 AM – 5:30 PM EST \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThis course will be offered entirely online\, through a platform called Zoom.
