Course #: EDPD 631 Instructor: Kysten Ellison-Martin GRAD THROUGH MANHATTAN UNIVERSITY OR IN-SERVICE The "Mind-Body Connection” has a profound effect on an individual's learning. The mind-body connection can be explained as the physical and mental connection between our existence and how we perceive the world. Some researchers believe that the mind is a result of electrical activity in the brain.

This course will focus on various mind-body aspects all through a lens of understanding and promoting culturally responsive practices. The course will address; Contemporary Mind-body Perspectives, the Emotion's Effect on the body, how the mind and body are functionally inseparable, how thought affects physiology, how to harness the power of positive attitude, unconscious and conscious awareness, responsibility and creative intelligence, core beliefs and seed thoughts, emotion and the body's language, mental projections and expectations, interpersonal versus intrapersonal communication, body messages, technological feedback, brain- body integration, how the brain and body communicate, the stress response, the relaxation response, the subconscious mind and behavior, how exercise, physical fitness, nutrition, and sleep affect learning, how a healthy body foster a healthy mind, and how to improve the capacity to learn.

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). District approval must be complete before start date. 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. With the expansion of computer science in K-12 education, the concept of computer programming should be prevalent through a student's education. 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.

Each and every day, the work of teaching children to read and write is both urgent and joyful.

We need to study alongside colleagues who share our vision, to wrestle with challenges, to celebrate progress, and to imagine what's possible.

This series of six Literacy Leadership workshops is designed for just that purpose. Across the 2025-2026 school year, literacy leaders from across Long Island will gather to build a shared vision for powerful, equitable reading, writing, and phonics instruction.

Led by The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower, each session will blend big-picture thinking with the kinds of nitty-gritty practical tools that you can bring back to your schools right away. Together, we'll study research, analyze student work, rehearse coaching moves, and plan for meaningful professional learning experiences in your districts.

Most of all, this series will offer a community of thought partners-fellow leaders who believe, as you do, in the transformative power of literacy.

37. Embracing Diversity- In Service (LILIE)

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Online Learning

Dates: 9/1/2025 to 9/28/2025

Location: Virtual

This course will focus on learning about the global and cultural needs of our students as it relates to education. When participants gain an understanding about these cultures, they can infuse certain teaching practices to help them to become successful learners within the classroom and beyond. With this knowledge, participants will learn how to infuse culturally diverse materials into their classroom curriculum and be able to teach students to value various cultures and beliefs. It is especially important for educators to have a knowledge about other cultures as they are working with these students on a daily basis - the direct student outcome is that they will feel inclusive of the class and be more successful learners as well.

While grading is an everyday practice for classroom teachers, we rarely have the opportunity to interrogate our grading practices and understand how grades impact our students' attitudes, well-being, and academic success. In this transformational course, we will use Grading for Equity by Joe Feldman as our anchor text to understand how traditional grading practices impact our students, and how we can use research-based grading policies that are accurate, bias-resistant, motivational, and empowering. Rather than lectures, this course is active and engaging, using the case study method and rigorous discussion to support learning.

Session 1: The Problem With Traditional Grading
Session 2: Feldman's 3 Pillars
Session 3: Creating Grading Policies That Work

This is a three-session virtual workshop with 90 minutes each. During each session, group members work in consistent groupings called "home groups” to help build community. Attendees should expect to participate in breakout rooms and in the chat.

What do you do when you don't know what to do? "I don't know what to do” is a common refrain in math class-especially when students face unfamiliar problems or standardized test questions. Do they give up? Or do they problem solve? Unfortunately, explicit instruction in problem solving is often missing from the curriculum. In this workshop, we'll explore practical strategies and routines you can use to help your students become confident, capable problem solvers. You'll leave with concrete tools and next steps to bring more problem solving into your classroom. Together, we won't just learn how to teach problem solving-we'll become better problem solvers ourselves.

David Kilpatrick is coming to Long Island-don't miss this rare chance to learn from one of the foremost experts in reading science!

Drawing on decades of research in reading development and cognitive psychology, David Kilpatrick, PhD will explore how we can identify reading difficulties, interpret assessment data meaningfully, and design interventions that actually work-especially for struggling readers. Specifically, this session will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. Understanding what research has found about the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide assessment, instruction, and intervention.

Educators will walk away with a deeper understanding of orthographic mapping, phonemic proficiency, and the critical role of assessment in accelerating student growth. Whether you're a classroom teacher, literacy coach, administrator, or specialist, this session will sharpen your instructional lens and provide actionable tools to help all students become confident, capable readers.

Learning Targets:
-Participants will understand the component cognitive and linguistic skills needed for word level reading.
-Participants will understand the source(s) of difficulties in word-level reading, including dyslexia.
-Participants will become aware of compensating students, who display "average” performance but require extraordinary effort to do so.
-Participants will learn what approaches are useful in addressing word-level reading difficulties.

Breakfast and lunch will be served.

Course #: EDCU 9106 Instructor: Valerie Fiano GRAD THROUGH UMASS Global OR IN-SERVICE District Approval required prior to enrollment This course will focus on how we can empower all students to be successful both academically and socially within the learning community and what we can do as a teacher and facilitator to foster a brave learning environment that supports students to utilize their own assets, knowledge and abilities to take a role in their own learning and success. Further, we will explore ways we can encourage families to support students and integrate their own assets and perspectives into the learning environment and to create a stronger home, school and community connection. We will see a shift of mindset in focusing on student struggle but rather their personal strengths, abilities and knowledge. Additionally, specific strategies teachers can incorporate into their classes will be explored as well as methods to support culturally responsive instruction for empowering students to overcome various academic obstacles.
