    Program: Regional Information Center - Financial and District Services

    Dates: 9/26/2025

    MOOV is a real-time attendance, safety, and hall pass system that integrates directly with a school's SIS. With just a tap of a student ID card, attendance is taken in the classroom, security is strengthened at entries, cafeterias, bathrooms, etc., and hall passes are automated. Originally focused on extracurricular activities, MOOV has since pivoted to attendance, safety, and passes. The platform has seen rapid adoption: just a year ago it was piloting in a handful of schools - today, it operates in 1 out of every 3 public school districts on Long Island. MOOV integrates with all 4 major SIS used on Long Island: eSchoolData, PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, and SchoolTool. Created by recent Long Island public schoolers, MOOV claims "public schools built us, we built this." MOOV provides prompt customer service, reasonable pricing, and a passion for the work of improving the schools that raised them. Breakfast will be provided.
    This session provides an overview of staff development modules and technology to be presented in 2025-2026. Participants at this session will include both district administrators and ENL teachers from Consortium districts.

    101. LILIE ONLINE: EdTech Tools for Equity

    Program: Model Schools

    Dates: 10/1/2025 to 10/28/2025

    There is no time like the present for educators to reflect on their role in culturally responsive teaching and use new educational technology tools to build an even stronger school community inclusive of English Language Learners and marginalized students. Students bring rich and diverse backgrounds to the classroom! Technology can be a powerful tool for transforming learning and reinventing our learning approach. It can help affirm and advance relationships between educators and students and remove the barriers to long-standing equity and accessibility gaps.
    Opportunities to reflect on digital tools to help adapt learning experiences to meet the needs of English Language Learners, economically disadvantaged, and other groups that have been historically underserved and marginalized will be enhanced. With equity in mind, educators can develop a climate in which students' backgrounds, experiences, and cultures are honored to build a stronger and more diverse learning community. The tools and strategies included specifically address teaching English Language Learners and marginalized students but are suited for all educators teaching grades K-12.
