Strand Programming
UnifiED's programming is organized into four dedicated learning strands, with attendees participating in one strand and its related programming throughout the conference to maximize collaboration, continuity, and practical application. Earn up to 8 CEU Hours. Strands include:
Equity-Centered Literacy SuccessExplore research-based, culturally responsive literacy strategies that help multilingual learners and students with disabilities strengthen reading skills, engagement, and long-term success. | |
From Assessment to Action: Aligning Assessment, Instruction, and Student OutcomesThis strand will focus on the ongoing relationship between assessment and instruction, and explore how educators can align and strengthen both. Presenters will share valuable information to support compliance, strengthen IEPs, implement effective instruction, and promote student success. Each session will feature presentations by DLD leaders, breakout sessions for a deeper dive into relevant topics, and opportunities for reflection, brainstorming, and planning for future success. | |
Classroom and Behavior ManagementThis strand centers on evidence-based classroom and behavior management practices that foster proactive, structured, and inclusive learning environments. It emphasizes the dynamic interplay between individual student characteristics and classroom ecological factors that influence engagement, regulation, and behavioral outcomes. Sessions will highlight practical and scalable strategies grounded in research to help educators establish predictable routines, cultivate positive peer networks, and respond effectively to challenging behavior. The DEBH strand is sponsored by the IRIS Center. | |
Teaching That Transforms: Unlocking the Power of High Leverage PracticesLearn how to use High Leverage Practices to increase student engagement, strengthen instruction, and make more impactful instructional decisions for diverse learners. The HLP strand is sponsored by Moving with Math. |
