Rigorous academics and enrichment have led to a rise in ELA and Math scores for low-income students and students of color in programs throughout the country. The pandemic has resulted in many well-intentioned schools and districts prioritizing remediation, however, experts emphasize that schools should put rigor and grade-level learning at the forefront. This session will help school and district leaders think about summer learning differently. In this workshop participants will learn strategies for assisting students in accessing grade-level content in order to accelerate their learning, and participants will discuss how to make the most of your summer learning program with an emphasis on rigorous academics.

There are many tasks to accomplish at the end of the school year that will ensure a smooth transition into the next school year with regard to Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS). I&RS guidance requires schools and districts to assess the team's procedures, share the results, and apply improvements in the upcoming school year. Professional learning needs for the I&RS team or professional staff should be identified and planned. School leaders and I&RS team members should use the results of their assessment to create recommendations for school-wide planning purposes. This session will focus on how to conduct the end-of-year assessment of I&RS procedures and plan for the upcoming school year. Connections to other building-based teams will be shared as well as how to best collaborate with other teams in order to increase positive outcomes from I&RS. In addition, Title funds will be identified that can be used to support I&RS functions. Scheduling options for I&RS meetings will be shared as well.

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.
