SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Laughing With Me! - Improv workshops with Michael O’Keeffe (Teacher Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Please note this event has been cancelled.  \nLaughing With Me! is the ASD program that is filled with fast-paced\, interactive fun!! Students think of communication issues like a game!! They will become flexible within these experiences. The outcome being that now they won’t break\, but simply bend. They also learn that it’s OK to fail. It’s simply a part of life that’s ultimately not a big deal. Also\, a common occurrence of the program is an understanding of a special kind of laughter that gives a boost to self-confidence and creates a feeling of camaraderie. This is called “earned laughter”\, because the students realize that they have done something funny on purpose\, in a setting that promotes and encourages that behavior. Delve into the ASD workshop where we look at how we handle what comes our way – expected or not! Add in the great fun and team spirit built into our games. We’ll be playing with both our strengths and our quirks. \nMike O’Keeffe is a teaching artist with The Count Basie Theatre\, and has been performing and teaching improv comedy professionally for over 25 years. He received his M.A. in Education from Monmouth University in 1996\, and has been a public school teacher for 20 years. He has done regional improv touring shows with former troupe-mate Wayne Brady\, and has traveled across the country performing corporate comedy and team-building. Recently\, he presented a TED Talk on the concept of “Play” called “Using Improv to Become a Better Human”. He is an Adjunct Professor at Monmouth University\, where he teaches Critical Discourse. This spring\, he was a keynote speaker at the National Youth Leadership Council’s\, “More Powerful Together” conference in Washington DC\, which brought together educational leaders and future educators. He was a speaker at Princeton University this summer\, where he demonstrated how to integrate performing arts into their Common Core Curricula.

SUMMARY:Monmouth Lecture Series: Lori M. Gaines\, Esq.
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nThe School of Education \n\nThursday\, April 06\, 2017 \nSpecial Education Reconsidered\nLori M. Gaines\, Esq.\nSpecial Education Attorney\, Barger & Gaines \nWilson Hall Auditorium \n7:00 p.m. \nQ&A following lecture\nReception with light fare and refreshments starting at 6 p.m. \nAbout This Lecture \nFederal special education law requires that school districts provide students with a “free appropriate public education.” But just what does that mean? In 1982 the Supreme Court considered this question in the landmark decision of Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Amy Rowley. Since then\, however\, the various federal court circuits across the country have adopted varying standards for determining whether a special education program is actually appropriate – some adopting the standard set out by the Supreme Court and others deciding to impose a greater standard. As a result\, there is an inconsistency across our country and therefore an inconsistency in just how much educational benefit students with disabilities are entitled to receive based on where they live. This inconsistency led the Supreme Court to once again consider this question through the case of Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District. \nJoin Ms. Gaines for an interactive conversation about the Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District case\, the arguments made for and against imposing a greater obligation on school districts to provide more than the minimum educational benefit to students with disabilities\, and the potential impact of the Supreme Court’s decision on the climate of special education across the United States.
