This online workshop is intended for educators to provide an overview of Dyslexia.

Dyslexia, the most recognized of reading problems, is a neurological disorder that is often characterized by difficulties in recognizing and decoding words, leading to lower comprehension and fluency. Although there is no exact count, it is estimated that one in ten people may be afflicted with some form of dyslexia.

Governor Christie signed legislation that, for the first time, prominently recognizes dyslexia in state statute and regulation, making it a requirement for districts to deal with this disability. A definition of dyslexia must now be specifically written into special education code and a yearly 2-hour professional development requirement for dyslexia is now mandated for all teachers in grades pre-K through grade 3, special education, reading and ESL teachers, reading specialists, learning disabilities teacher consultants, and speech-language specialists.

This two-hour (time varies per participant) webinar will provide participating administrators, pre-K to 3 educators, Special Education supervisors, and Child Study Team members with detailed information about this legislation, citing the specificity and requisites that impact the governance and operation of all school districts in New Jersey. The impact that the law will have on special education programs, as well as the specific components that must be included in the required training, will be reviewed during the online course.

Please note online workshop access will be granted after ETTC Hours approval or payment is received. Please contact the SRI&ETTC at 609-626-3850 regarding this matter.

Course running time: 2 Hours
Cost: $106 OR 4 ETTC Hours. For information on membership, contact the SRI&ETTC at 609-626-3850 or ettc@stockton.edu.

Dyslexia, the most recognized of reading problems, is a neurological disorder that is often characterized by difficulties in recognizing and decoding words, leading to lower comprehension and fluency. Although there is no exact count, it is estimated that one in ten people may be afflicted with some form of Dyslexia.

Legislation on Dyslexia signed in August 2014 prominently recognized Dyslexia in state statute and regulation, mandating a requirement for districts to pro-actively deal with this disability. A definition of Dyslexia is now written into Special Education code and a yearly 2-hour professional development requirement for Dyslexia is now mandated for all teachers in grades pre-K through grade 3, special education, reading and ESL teachers, reading specialists, learning disabilities teacher consultants, and speech-language specialists.

Participants should already have had a preliminary workshop on Dyslexia such that they have a general knowledge about the legislation, definition, warning signs, and characteristics of Dyslexia. This two-hour training will provide participants with information about specific teaching strategies and techniques used to work with students with Dyslexia, as well as additional information about its characteristics, use of technology, and screening.

Students have become comfortable in following procedures and waiting out teachers during math instruction. Math education today stresses the need for students to become doers of math, requiring teachers to do more than simply leading students to the right answer. Research shows that students need to become engaged in productive struggle and mathematical discourse during lessons, while stressing that we are not learning math but are learning how to think like mathematicians. Providing lessons that offer these opportunities is a new focus for math instruction, but teachers are often frustrated when trying to plan lessons that offer these opportunities. This workshop will offer a model lesson that is designed to engage teachers in productive struggle and math discourse, then provide them with strategies that assist in designing these types of learning activities. Additionally, this workshop will provide a focus on the standards for mathematical practice, and their role in planning for student engagement. Resources for reviewing classroom practices and for inspiring planning of real-world tasks will be shared.

In the first segment, Writing Teacher-Constructed Assessments to Evaluate Student Learning in Science, participants will learn assessments that measure learning objectives, provide feedback for students, and inform instruction in the science classroom. Participants will learn to create assessments with validity, reliability and bias in mind, write quality assessment items, and evaluate assessments by conducting item analyses? Educators attending this workshop will learn to recognize assessment that is categorized "of, as or for" learning; select appropriate assessment approaches based on learning objectives, needs of students, and create meaningful and specific rubrics that facilitate student learning and provide appropriate and descriptive feedback to students

In the second segment of this workshop, Take Your NGSS Implementation to a Higher Level with Web Resources, educators will explore the best websites for STEM lesson plans, activities, projects and videos.

Students are all different and all learn differently. "One size fits all" is not a motto used in education. There are many factors that need to be considered when teachers determine what to teach, how to teach it, and how students should perform - all based on the students themselves. In order to reach all learners, differentiation needs to take place with respect to content, process, and product according to learning styles, levels, and interests. This workshop provides how this can be done and resources to support teachers in doing so, and on technology tools to address the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners in our classes.

Participants will understand "what to do" in order to differentiate the content, process, and product for students and "how to do it" with respect to specific instructional strategies. In addition, participants will learn about their learning style, how to assess their students and explore technology tools to support the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners in their class. Educators will leave the workshop able to create a technology-infused, differentiated lesson ready to be immediately implemented.

This workshop is designed to help teachers incorporate specific techniques in assisting students to deal with difficult emotions and develop resiliency. In this workshop participants will explore the topic of how attachment theory shapes classroom interactions. During this training, teachers practice social-emotional competencies such as reflective and empathetic listening, effective feedback and effective requests, de-escalation, and whole-brain communication. Teachers will also take a look at specific classroom techniques designed to help at-risk students deal with difficult emotions and make a plan to incorporate them in their classroom.

The Mental Health and Resilient Classroom training also tackles the issue of student and teacher resiliency. Participants learn about and practice evidence-based techniques from the field of mental health and positive psychology to plan for the inevitable challenges and successes of the school year. Teachers are also coached on how to incorporate these resiliency techniques into their classroom in order to encourage students' emotional intelligence, problem-solving, self-regulation and resiliency. Teachers leave this workshop with techniques and follow up goals, as well as strategies to help students.

The NGSS (aka NJSLS-S) has catapulted engineering education to have a prominent place in all classrooms where science is taught, be it every day or only twice a week. Educators attending this engaging workshop will participate in a team-based approach to solve engineering design challenges and realize what engineering should look and sound like in a classroom setting. A focus on engineering as a discipline where science and math concepts are applied, rather than engineering as "building fun projects" will be highlighted. Educators attending this engaging workshop will:

-solve engineering challenges as part of a team

-understand and be able to facilitate their students' understanding of the iterative nature of engineering

-successful implementation of engineering activities

-ensure that students realize the connections between concepts and practices in science, math and engineering

-explore online resources that provide lessons/activities to promote engineering education
