an understanding of why dyslexic students, or students with related or undiagnosed language based challenges, struggle to learn to read and how to explicitly and systematically teach to their strengths as learners

how to approach or look for effective intervention and remediation strategies with explicit instruction like a certified academic language therapist

the importance of the teacher understanding the multiple categories of pure consonant sounds and vowel sounds based on their features of articulation

The focus of the workshop is for participants to continue to develop a deeper understanding of how Regents Biology must use a New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) based curriculum. Students are expected to learn science by engaging in the practices and skills of scientists and engineers. There is content to learn but they will be expected to apply that content to novel phenomena, scenarios, and problems. They will construct their own understandings and build capacity to demonstrate their knowledge in context with much less memorization of science facts.

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Online Learning

Dates: 2/1/2025 to 2/28/2025

Location: Virtual

Course #: EDDU 9506 Instructor: Jennifer DeCollibus GRAD THROUGH UMASS GLOBAL OR IN-SERVICE The image of a successful person can vary from one individual to the next; however, upon closer inspection those who succeed share a common quality: their mindset. Teachers will examine various ways to positively alter their own lives as a result of mindset, but equally important, how students can benefit from a growth mindset culture in the classroom. It's apparent that we want our students to develop and maintain a growth mindset; however, it's also necessary that we foster an awareness within them that allows them to respectfully question social injustices and determine ways to promote change. This course provides the foundation for understanding mindset, the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, the importance of the brain and how it works, specific ways to foster a growth mindset environment, the role of critical thinking, differentiation and critical consciousness and cultural responsiveness, ways to change mindsets, and strategies that promote a growth mindset. An educator can use this information to continue to develop challenging instruction that is also designed for students to recognize how potential and effort impact the outcome in any life situation. With the expectation for educators to consistently challenge students, many students are encountering new learning difficulties and experiencing feelings of frustration and failure. Since a growth mindset is the belief that dedication and hard work can produce positive results that lead to success, it is an idea that all educators should learn. Before students can adopt a mindset that is critically conscious, it is useful for them to possess a growth mindset in order to be able to do so.
