Oppose Women's Health Protection Act
2021-10-05 - 2021-10-31
U.S. Congress is about to vote on the most radical abortion bill of all time. The so-called “Women’s Health Act” (H.R. 3755/S. 1975) would impose abortion on demand, at any stage of pregnancy. It would apply nationwide—even in states that don’t want it.

Proven techniques to close learning gaps
RTI is not a series of implementation steps to cross off on a list, but a way of thinking about how educators can ensure each child receives the time and support needed to achieve success. This virtual workshop is designed for school teams who have started RTI but are still refining processes or experiencing challenges. The presenter has worked with hundreds of schools throughout North America and can help your school make RTI efficient, effective, and equitable. RTI work must be divided between collaborative teacher teams and two schoolwide teams (a leadership team and an intervention team). Together, the entire school assumes responsibility for the learning of every student.
As an active virtual participant, you will learn why bureaucratic, paperwork-heavy, compliance-oriented, test-score-driven approaches fail, and then discover how to create an RTI model that works. Acquire four essential guiding principles—collective responsibility, concentrated instruction, convergent assessment, and certain access—and experience a simple process for bringing these principles to life in your school.

Drive implementation using the four guiding principles.
Create a school leadership team to steer the shift to a culture of collective responsibility.
Utilize collaborative teacher teams to define essential learnings.
Create a toolbox of effective interventions.
Build a schoolwide intervention team to address complex issues such as motivation, attendance, and behavior.

No More Delay: Positive Immigration Reform Needed Today
2021-10-06 - 2021-11-30
American Catholics have been working toward immigration reform for decades, and it’s long overdue. The 117th Congress now has an opportunity to address immigration in a positive, productive, and forward-looking way. Last week, the Senate adopted a budget resolution that paves the way for a reconciliation bill. The resolution includes instructions for the Committee on the Judiciary to draft language providing “lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants.” Reconciliation only requires a simple majority of 51 votes in the Senate, assuming certain other conditions are met. This was the same mechanism used to pass the American Rescue Plan in March. With the budget resolution adopted in the Senate—which the House will also have to adopt in the coming weeks—Senate committees can now begin drafting the text of the budget reconciliation bill itself.
