1. Distance Learning Practitioners Meeting (January 2024)

Program: NERIC: Special Events

Audience: Distance Learning Teachers, Classroom Facilitators and DL Coordinators

Dates: 1/26/2024

Location: CVES/FEH/SLL Rooms

It is that time of year again to plan on gathering with your fellow Distance Learning Teachers and Classroom Facilitators in January. We are, as always, truly thankful to work with each of you in providing students opportunities otherwise unavailable to them.

We encourage you to join us at the Distance Learning Practitioners Meeting, to allow veteran DL Practitioners (teachers and classroom facilitators), those new to the DL environment, and even those simply curious about the DL network, to continue sharing experiences; your successes, common pain points, and how you are helping to grow the DL program in all of the various learning environments.

The January Distance Learning Practitioners Meeting will be an in-person event held on Friday, January 26th from 12:30pm to 2:00pm at NERIC - 900 Watervliet-Shaker Road in Albany. We will be providing lunch at 12:00pm, so be sure to arrive by noon at NERIC in Albany! A virtual option will be made available upon request.

Please register soon to hold your place.

Please email dl@neric.org by January 19th with your questions and topics of discussion you would like covered during the meeting. We will facilitate the forum discussions using the feedback received from you.

We hope to see you on January 26th. Until then, stay well.

-Eileen Drescher, Melissa Boucher, Sharon Matthews, Jen Bloomingdale, Mike Sylofski, & Mary Graham-Morris

NOTE: This meeting is open to DL Practitioners from districts participating in the Full Distance Learning Program.

2. Grading for Opportunity

Program: School Support Services: General Professional Development

Dates: 7/24/2024 to 5/13/2025

Research indicates that there are many instances where "the ways we grade disproportionately favor students with privilege and harm students with less privilege: students of color, from low-income families, who receive special education services and English learners." (Feldman, 2019).

This professional development opportunity includes a full-day workshop in the summer, followed by four half day sessions to deepen the learning.

The purpose of this work is for participants to:
* Develop a greater understanding of inequitable grading practices.
* Reflect on grading practices and consider whether students are receiving feedback that describes what students know and are able to do.
* Analyze current grade reporting practices, and the degree to which they report students' knowledge and sills accurately and encourage intrinsic motivation among students.
* Learn from teachers and school administrators who are currently engaged in changing their grading practices and policies as they move toward achieving grading for equity.
* Create a long-term plan for changes in grading practices by exploring the essential elements of effective system's change.

Facilitator
Dr. Eva L. Jones is a leader in examining systems through the lens of cultural proficiency and providing culturally responsive professional development. Her research in developing culturally responsive systems in schools informs her work with teachers, administrators and district leaders as they come to understand the impact of bias and privilege on their daily work.
