Choice Boards are a way of organizing resources and learning tasks for students as well as offers students the opportunity to go beyond the curriculum. With choice board learning, students must actively participate to work towards self-directed learning. Teachers intentionally design choice boards to provide a more play-like approach that offers flexibility in terms of how students share their learning outcomes through multi-modalities. Participants will uncover the benefits, standards-based design, differentiation techniques, and explore activities that cater to every learning style, such as visual, auditory, read-write, and kinesthetic.

This online workshop is intended 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 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 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.

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.

Video games offer a power learning experience for students as they are relatable and often engaging once the ability to design unique games is introduced. Through this workshop, we look at how video games can be created through a unique approach in the P5.js programming language. By first recreating a simulated environment using real-world collisions and physics, we can add visuals and aesthetics to our algorithms to create unique video games while also developing real-world abilities in computer programming! Suitable for students with some prior coding experience, P5.js may be the perfect addition to your middle or high school computer science classroom! In this workshop, we start from the basics as we learn to create engaging visuals, autonomous programs, and exciting applications in the P5.js platform.

CS Coastal Hub Elective: AI Augmented Python is a Liberal Art

The SRI&ETTC is proud to offer a Back To School Boot Camp for novice educators and educators looking to refresh their tool kit for the upcoming school year. In these workshops, participants will discuss methods to integrate new and existing classroom management and instructional strategies into their daily routine. Participants will brainstorm and discuss ways to engage students and families into the educational process, teachers will leave the workshop with strategies that can be applied the next day.

No two students enter a classroom with identical abilities, experiences, or needs. Learning styles, language proficiency, background knowledge, readiness to learn, and other factors can vary widely within a single classroom. Regardless of their individual differences, however, students are expected to master their grade level standards. This session will provide strategies for providing several learning options or different paths to learning which help students take in information and make sense of concepts and skills. Participants will leave with strategies for providing appropriate levels of challenge for all students at various levels of learning.

By selecting this option you are registering for the Differentiated Instruction workshop only. To register for the three-session series please return to the workshop calendar.

Some students struggle with academics. Other students struggle with behavioral challenges. Some students struggle with both. How can schools respond to students with challenges or struggles that interfere with learning? Many schools use a framework of interventions and supports designed to address these behavioral and academic challenges. This framework is known as a Multi-Tiered System of Supports. In this workshop participants will learn how to use this framework to identify struggling students early so that they may receive assistance quickly.

This workshop is being offered as a hybrid course, delivery options are live online via Zoom or in-person at the SRI&ETTC. Once your registration is received, we will be reaching out to see which delivery method is preferred.
