Location: Virtual

Course # EDPD 624 Instructor: Cathy Carella-Dean GRAD THOUGH MANHATTAN COLLEGE OR IN-SERVICE The role of an educator has increasingly become more and more demanding. In addition to being content specialists, or service providers, educators find that their roles encompass so much more than delivering instruction and/or services. Educators' daily work includes elements of counseling, caregiving, mentoring, mediating, coaching, and so much more. Over time, these demands can lead educators to feel "burnt out.” This course will give participants the tools to recognize what teacher burn out is and how it negatively impacts teacher and student outcomes. Participants will go beyond identifying issues and will analyze research-based strategies, techniques, and actions to help prevent or reverse burn out. Educators will learn about the positive and invigorating effects of participating in PLCs, PDs, stress management activities, reflections, and leadership opportunities. Educators will discuss and analyze research-based, best practices that improve instructional strategies and collaborative approaches to student learning. Educators will examine their underlying personal beliefs, norms, practices, and assumptions, and reflect on how a student's race or culture may have influenced school culture. Educators identify they will implement to meet the needs of their students with a careful eye to how cultural responsiveness works to achieve this. Educators will synthesize fresh lesson plans and faculty presentations that improve student outcomes, and serve to prevent and reverse teacher burnout. This course must be approved by District prior to start of class.

Dr. Kussin firmly believes the master schedule building process has been a deep, dark secret for too long. To reduce the uneasiness brought on by a lack of understanding and to educate those in any way connected to the schedule, Dr. Kussin has reduced the entire master schedule building process to a "generic” 12-month 10-step model that works for schools of all sizes. He has written a text, How to Build the Master Schedule in Ten Easy Steps, following this approach.

Session 1 will be devoted to the ten steps.

Session 2 will allow participants to apply what they learned by building a master schedule from start to finish for a 360-student school, using mock data.

Assessment thinking has expanded to a System of Assessment. Methods are used that inform both teachers and students so that instructional strategies can be formulated that support student learning. We will review the standard format for performance-based tasks and use assessment screeners to evaluate summative assessment examples.
