    Course # EDPD 668 Instructor: Valerie Fiano GRAD THROUGH MANHATTAN COLLEGE OR IN-SERVICE In this course participants will be introduced to the concept and theory of Cultural Responsiveness and how it can be applied to classroom instruction and daily interactions with students, classroom environment, and parents and within the community. Being aware and reflective of this mindset helps to engage all students from a diverse background and experience. The focus of this course will be on how to infuse the mindset of cultural responsiveness within our classroom communities and interactions with students in order to maximize our daily instructional practices for overall student success. The key components will be introduced, discussed and implemented within a variety of instructional techniques and daily classroom interactions. Being able to engage diverse student population has a strong and direct effect on student development and varied tolerance. Additionally, as the classroom teacher and facilitator we have the responsibility to create a classroom environment along with lesson design that engages students from multiple backgrounds and interests so that we are reaching as many students as possible and integrating topics and language that is of interest to them and that they are also able to relate to personally - it is increasing important for us to make students aware of the world around them and how they can relate what they are learning to real-life experiences. This course will also train participants to teach all students to understand and promote diversity. Further, participants will discuss how to appropriately integrate cultural responsiveness with their students, adopting the mindset, and to have that dialogue within the classroom. Learning about diversity in different populations allows us to learn different ways to approach, empower and instruct these students. This course must be approved by District prior to start of class.

    An alarming rise in antisemitism, manifesting in hate crimes even within our schools, demands an immediate and decisive response from school leaders. However, educators are often ill-equipped due to a lack of knowledge and resources. This training program empowers school leaders with tools and resources to combat and respond to antisemitism in their districts.

    Through discussions of antisemitism awareness, victim support, incident investigation and response, community engagement, disciplinary action, and district-wide antisemitism responses, this program will equip leaders to foster truly inclusive school environments. We'll consider both the national and local landscapes of antisemitism to equip leaders to understand and address it effectively within the unique context of Long Island public schools. By creating a safer and more just learning environment for all students, school leaders become champions of inclusivity and a future freer from antisemitism.
