Course #: EDUU 9072 Instructor: Carmella Currao-McAleavey GRAD THROUGH UMASS GLOBAL OR IN-SERVICE "Learning diversity” recognizes that individuals with learning disabilities have unique strengths and abilities, and emphasizes the importance of building on these assets in order to support their learning and development. The concept of learning diversity acknowledges that there is diversity within the ways that individuals learn, and that this diversity should be valued and supported rather than viewed as a deficit emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive and supportive learning environments that recognize and accommodate the needs of all learners, including those with learning disabilities.

Course # EDPD 624 Instructor: Cathy Carella-Dean GRAD THOUGH MANHATTAN COLLEGE OR IN-SERVICE The role of an educator has increasingly become more and more demanding.

Participants will go beyond identifying issues and will analyze research-based strategies, techniques, and actions to help prevent or reverse burn out. Educators will learn about the positive and invigorating effects of participating in PLCs, PDs, stress management activities, reflections, and leadership opportunities. Educators will discuss and analyze research-based, best practices that improve instructional strategies and collaborative approaches to student learning. Educators will examine their underlying personal beliefs, norms, practices, and assumptions, and reflect on how a student's race or culture may have influenced school culture.

Educators will synthesize fresh lesson plans and faculty presentations that improve student outcomes and serve to prevent and reverse teacher burnout.

Join us for the next evolution of our Science of Reading journey. SoR Think Tank: A Deep Dive into Practice is a four-part series designed for returning teams, new groups, or a combination of both. This year, we move beyond the attestation and focus on bridging research to practice-supporting district teams as they reflect, collaborate, and take action. Districts are encouraged to attend in teams of 2 or more members to maximize collaboration and impact, but individual educators are welcome as well! Team members must register individually.

Each session offers structured time for guided planning and cross-district dialogue, with opportunities to learn from and alongside fellow educators who are deeply engaged in this work. Whether your team is refining existing initiatives or just getting started, this Think Tank provides the space to grow together.

The 2025-2026 series is shaped by feedback collected during last year's Think Tank and continuously adapted in response to ongoing participant input. Our goal is to create a responsive, evolving experience that meets the real needs of our districts.

"For generations, teachers have been told to teach reading with texts at students' reading levels rather than grade levels. To not do so was to cause frustration and to disrupt learning; or, at least, that's what we were told. This presentation will examine those claims and will review the research on the matter [...] Then it will turn to the issue of what it means to teach students to comprehend with books they cannot already read well." -Tim Shanahan

Having students to work collaboratively isn't just something you do with your students in isolated moments - it's a culture you cultivate over time. In this newly updated and expanded version of the popular Making Groupwork the Norm workshop, we'll dive deeper into the classroom structures, routines, and mindsets that help collaborative learning thrive in middle and high school classrooms.

Whether you're new to collaborative learning or building on what you learned in the original workshop, this session offers fresh insights grounded in real classroom practice.

You'll leave with:

• A refined set of groupwork norms that boost student independence and peer-to-peer accountability

• New strategies for designing tasks that foster true collaboration - not just cooperation

• Tools for formative assessment that track individual understanding within group contexts

• Clear guidance on managing equity, voice, and shared responsibility

• Ways to use groupwork as a lever for differentiation and deeper learning

We'll also address persistent myths about groupwork, explore common implementation challenges, and share field-tested solutions that work across content areas.
Join us to transform groupwork from an occasional structure into a powerful, everyday practice - and reimagine what students can do when they learn together.
