Program: Online Seminars

Audience: Educators

Dates: On-Going (Ends Dec 31, 2024)

Location: On-Line

Restorative practices can be transformational for a classroom, school, district, and community. They are growing in schools across the nation in response to the inequitable school model of punitive discipline measures, such as suspension, to keep kids in school and for better long-term results. Restorative practices are evidence-based interventions that have proven successful when implemented correctly as the ultimate goal in mediation rather than punishment. They are used to resolve conflicts between fellow students and between students and educators by proactively building school community and forming a foundation for healing work when harm has been done. In this seminar, we will explore what restorative practices are, how they tie to social emotional learning, how to differentiate for diverse learners, and how to begin to implement with students.

More than 25 percent of American youth experience a serious traumatic event by their sixteenth birthday, and many children suffer multiple and repeated traumas which can seriously impact their cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development. Staff may be unaware of the specific traumatic events that have occurred with each child, and school environments may inadvertently compound the impacts of trauma. Creating resilience-fostering environments in school can lower the impact of trauma and enhance the factors that provide the foundation for better health, academic success, and positive interactions. When school staff learn effective responses to student trauma and how to help instill resiliency skills necessary to thrive in the classroom, children have better learning outcomes - in school and in life.

42. 5 Hour Online Seminar - Helping English Learners Succeed with a Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS) Framework (WKS ELL31) - Section 1

Program: Online Seminars

Audience: Teachers

Dates: On-Going (Ends Dec 31, 2024)

Location: On-Line

In a highly political climate of compliance in schools and a growing diversity in schools, teachers are required more than ever to implement culturally sustaining evidenced-based models of support that address the needs of students who are English language learners (ELLs) and those with disabilities. In the past, teachers have waited for students to fail before referring them to the student support team in their schools. Today, MTSS offers a prevention approach rather that a "wait to fail" method as it provides appropriate and responsive instruction for multilingual learners (MLLs) with and without disabilities in schools. In this seminar, you will look at how MTSS offers a tiered system of culturally-sustaining instructional practices, data-informed problem solving and academic and linguistic progress monitoring to address the needs of all learners, specifically those of multilingual learners with disabilities.

This seminar can be used to meet CTLE hours and C.R. Part 154 requirements.

Program: Online Seminars

Audience: Educators

Dates: On-Going (Ends Dec 31, 2024)

Location: On-Line

Although all students demonstrate a wide range of strengths, needs, and social characteristics, the increasing diversity among English language learners (ELLs) presents puzzling questions for education professionals. This is especially true of ELLs who, despite receiving appropriate language-related supports and services, still do not demonstrate adequate growth or achievement in school. In these cases, we ask the question: Is this issue related to language acquisition or to disability? In this online seminar, you will explore critical issues related to interventions for ELLs who present unique learning challenges, as well as the assessment and disability identification processes which occur once intervention is proven ineffective.

Violence, anger, and disruptive behaviors are negatively impacting the well-being of our staff and students in the school environment. A school's culture and climate are the primary indicators of student achievement and behavior. When students and staff are connected to the school through its culture, everyone thrives. Current systems in NYS such as the Safe Schools Against Violence in Education (SAVE) legislation, the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA), local Codes of Conduct, district safety plans, and workplace protections serve to support all stakeholders in a school community.

Research demonstrates that stress has been dramatically increasing in America and it can have an impact on overall health and job satisfaction. Education is one of the more stressful fields and stress among educators is directly related to absenteeism, burnout, turnover, and early retirement. Educators have the additional challenge of working with youth who are also experiencing stress at unprecedented levels. The effects of stress on educators negatively affect the school climate and lead to poor student outcomes, both academically and behaviorally, and become a barrier to learning for students. In this seminar, participants will explore how to effectively manage the increasing demands and stress in their roles as well as how to support students in coping with the stress they are experiencing.

This seminar offers K-12 teachers of all disciplines strategies for infusing STEM activities into instruction while immersing students with the 4C's of the 21st Century Learning Standards and social emotional learning concepts.

Scaffolding is a term that comes from psychologist Lev Vygotsky's theory of the Zone of Proximal Development.

Today, scaffolding is an essential practice as it allows educators to identify the needs of each ELL/MLL and provide them with supports to build on prior knowledge, internalize new information, and ultimately master grade-level content and skills.
