It's Conference Week!


Hey Reader,

Get excited!

The Back to School Conference kicks off next Saturday! And you, my friend, are enrolled!

In case you haven't noticed, I am super excited to get things started Saturday morning.

But before we get to that point, I want to ensure you have all the information you need to make the Back to School Conference both a memorable experience and an impactful one.

Each morning this week, I'll be sending you one tip on how you can get the most out of the Back to School Conference. From getting logged in to saying hello and entering giveaways, I'll show you how it is done.

So, let's get started with our first tip to make sure you don't miss anything!

Log in and access the Conference Community

To access everything the conference has to offer, you must log in!

If you've already logged in, congrats! You can close out this email and enjoy the rest of your day.

But if you have yet to log into the conference platform, please take 2 minutes now to do so. Here's how:

If you have not logged in yet:

  • Click on this link and select "Sign in with Email" if prompted.
  • Then use the following credentials:
    Email: Reader
    Password: Back2School!
  • Complete your profile page, and you'll be ready for the conference!

If you prefer video support, click here to watch a 4-minute video I recorded for you about logging in.

If you have already logged into the community:

  • Click here to access the login page.
  • If you are not automatically logged in, click "Sign in with email" and use your email address - Reader - and your password to access the conference portal.

If you have tried both of the above methods, try this:

  • Click on this link to access the sign-in page.
  • Then click on "Forgot your password?" and enter your email - Reader.
  • After you click "Reset my password," check your inbox (and your junk inbox) for an email from OT Schoolhouse with a link to reset your password.

If you continue to have trouble logging in after that, please hit reply and let me know so I can help you get logged in!

After you log in

Once you've logged into the community, have a look around. I've posted a few videos inside to help you navigate.

Here are a few things you can do inside:

  • Have a look at the event calendar
  • Say hello to your peers in the "B2S Hello" Space
  • Ask for support in the "OT practitioner Support" Space

Well, I think that is enough for one day.

Please take a moment to log in today. It will save you the hassle of accessing the sessions on Saturday morning.

Thank you so much for registering for the Conference. I look forward to seeing you in the community and providing another tip tomorrow.

Until then,

Jayson

Today, I want to share some nature-inspired insights about classroom design that could improve our support of both teachers and students. I recently spoke with Alex Thompson, a former teacher turned OT who's revolutionizing classroom spaces (and school-based OT within MTSS) using nature-inspired design principles. Her teaching background gives her a unique perspective on creating environments that work for...

Presented by theOT Schoolhouse Collaborative Hey Reader, Let’s be real for a second. Learning evidence-based practices in OT has never been easier. At the OT Schoolhouse alone, we’ve published over 220 hours of audio and video courses on school-based OT, much of it for free! But here’s the catch: while acquiring knowledge is simple, putting it into practice is a whole different game. How many times have you left a PD course bursting with ideas, only to find yourself struggling to implement...
