The Great Tech Debate: AI, Screen Time, and the Future of Technology in Schools

The debate over technology in schools has reached a critical turning point. Across the country, concerns about screen time, social media, and AI are fueling calls for strict technology limits in classrooms, and in some cases, outright technology bans. But in our rush to limit technology use, are we losing sight of the larger and more important question: What should learning look like in a technology-rich world?

In this provocative keynote, Jerry Crisci examines the growing technology backlash in education. Rather than framing the issue as a choice between more or less technology, he will explore a more important question: What kinds of technology experiences actually belong in the classrooms of the future?

Drawing on over three decades of work in ed tech and innovation, Jerry will separate legitimate concerns about technology use from misconceptions and explore the rapidly changing role of AI in teaching, learning, and assessment.

11:45 am - 1:00 pm | Lunch & Regional Panel:

How are leaders across our region managing the conversation?

Learn from other leaders, ask questions and share ideas of how we are handling these difficult conversations.

Program: 2026-2027 - Leadership
Audience: For Teachers, School and District Leaders
Dates: 10/26/2026 to 12/7/2026
Starting Soon

What does it mean to be a professional educator-and what conditions help educators do their best work and continue to grow? NYS STEPS creates an opportunity to rethink educator evaluation as part of something bigger: a culture of professionalism, continuous learning, meaningful feedback, and growth. Across two days, participants will explore how STEPS can support a stronger vision of the teaching profession-and how educator growth connects to student growth and Portrait of a Graduate.
What will we explore?
* Reimagine Professionalism: Elevate teaching as a profession grounded in expertise, reflection, collaboration, and growth.
* Make Growth the Goal: Use observation, feedback, coaching, and professional learning to strengthen practice.
* Make Feedback Matter: Move beyond "gotcha” moments toward evidence, reflection, learning, and improvement.
* Connect Educator & Student Growth: Explore how growing educators supports the development of the skills and competencies we want for every graduate.
* Create Conditions for Growth: Build the leadership, structures, and culture that make professional learning part of everyday work.
* Build Coherence: Connect evaluation, professional learning, instructional improvement, and school priorities-not another layer of work.
Make growth part of the culture.
Through collaboration, reflection, practical examples, and application, participants will explore what it looks like when evaluation is not the destination-but one part of a larger system designed to support professional learning, instructional excellence, and educator growth.
Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of NYS STEPS and practical ideas for strengthening the connections among feedback, professional learning, instructional practice, school improvement, and Portrait of a Graduate.

100. Looking Beyond Language Difference and Disability: Pre-Referral Considerations for Multilingual Learners - at Sullivan BOCES [HVRBERN-CTLE ID #23120]
Program: 2026-2027 - HV RBERN
Audience: All teachers, administrators, teaching assistants, counselors and therapy providers of English Language Learners in all grades and setting
Dates: 10/27/2026
ClosedStarting Soon

TO REGISTER FOR THIS WORKSHOP, PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING LINK TO ENROLL AT SULLIVAN BOCES' SITE: CLICK HERE TO ENROLL

The question is not just "when to refer”; it's "why?” Determining why a multilingual learner is struggling and whether a special education referral is warranted remains one of the most complex challenges educators face. Behaviors that may raise concern about a disability can also reflect second-language acquisition, cultural and linguistic diversity, access to appropriate educational opportunities, or other factors that influence learning and performance.

This workshop explores a culturally and linguistically responsive approach to examining student concerns before referral, with attention to language development, instructional access, learning environments, assessment practices, intervention efforts, and legal requirements.

Participants and members of MTSS teams will consider how concerns identified through classroom data and student performance may warrant targeted Tier 2 supports and additional problem-solving before referral. Through case studies and collaborative discussion, educators will learn how to examine language differences from a disability perspective and make more accurate, equitable, and defensible decisions for multilingual learners.

Participants should bring a device to access workshop materials.

Cost: FREE
