This is a 45-hour asynchronous, online course. There are no synchronous meeting times (the meeting dates listed below are the start and end dates for the course).

In order to make connections between what students learn in school and the real world, instructional materials must be relevant to the lives of our students.

When working in tandem with core curriculum subjects, connections between coding and the real world become evident. Not only can this collaboration benefit a student's computer science education, it also has the potential to enhance the core curriculum by presenting education in a different way.

    Student absenteeism doesn't happen overnight-it develops through patterns that, if left unaddressed, can lead to long-term disengagement. Nassau BOCES invites educators, school staff, and support professionals to join us in an in-depth exploration of evidence-based strategies to prevent and intervene in Tier 2 cases-where absenteeism is emerging or becoming a moderate concern. In this session, we will analyze key attendance challenges, including: 🔹 Students attending school under stress or expressing strong reluctance to return. 🔹 Morning misbehaviors as avoidance tactics. 🔹 Chronic tardiness leading to inconsistent attendance. 🔹 Periodic absences and skipping classes. 🔹 Increasing patterns of missed days or class avoidance. 🔹 Full-day absences over certain periods. 🔹 Extended, ongoing absence from school. Through practical, research-backed interventions, we will equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to re-engage students before chronic absenteeism takes hold. Resources will be provided for school-based professionals, parents, and clinical staff to support a collaborative, whole-community approach. Join us in tackling absenteeism at its roots-because every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. All trainings held at the Lupinskie Center 1 Merrick Avenue Westbury Light Breakfast and Lunch will be served all days
