When students of today are asked to research something, a few things might happen, sometimes simultaneously: Students will struggle to choose their own research topic and browse for ideas. Students take a stance before researching and get frustrated when sources don't fit their argument. Out of desperation, students rely on less credible sources Students are reluctant to go beyond Google and become overwhelmed by information choices and quantities. Students find it difficult to find the right words when searching for information online. Students aren't aware of the need to search again and again, refining their searches as they discover new questions and synthesize new information. Most likely, your student will give up and choose a different topic. This course will help both you and your students navigate the many credible databases that exist, learn search terms, feel confident in research, and eliminate the #fakenews and plagiarism that students so often fall victim to when the research process becomes overwhelming or hits a dead end.

We implement this through inclusive curriculum, classroom practices, and interactions. Additionally, we need to provide authentic resources that support marginalized groups and fosters a positive sense of self-worth among all students. We need to empower students to take an active role in selecting , organizing, and presenting the content they are learning. By providing students the opportunity to curate their own learning experiences they can develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and strong communication skills. We can implement this in a variety of ways, such as project-based learning, student led discussions, and diverse student curated resources.

Join us for insightful, transformative sessions that promote the success and well-being of all students! Engage with exceptional consultants and practitioners sharing their work and discussing relevant topics!

Keynote Speaker: Cornelius Minor
What it Means to be a Community Now: Powerful Reaching and Leading in the Face of Uncertainty
The very foundations of our profession have shifted profoundly in the last half decade. That shift has not been without some pain. We have mourned the losses of familiar routines, and time-honored customs. Curriculum is changing, and we are questioning the ways that we have traditionally served students. In the face of all these transformations, all of us (at some point in this journey) have longed for a return to "normal.”

In this presentation, Cornelius Minor will explore how our nostalgic reverence for life Pre-March 2020 is misplaced… that even though we felt certain about some things, that there were still too many kids, families, and whole communities left at the margins of our work. In this extended study, we will spend time reflecting on the lessons of the last two years and creating blueprints for the new things that must come next in terms of our teaching and our leadership.

Cornelius Minor is a Brooklyn-based educator and education consultant. He works with teachers, school leaders, and leaders of community-based organizations to support equitable literacy reform in cities (and sometimes villages) across the globe. His latest book, We Got This, explores how the work of creating more equitable school spaces is embedded in our everyday choices--specifically in the choice to really listen to kids.

Special Guest: Dr. Diane M. Wynne, Executive Director, NYSED Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

This registration is ONLY for educators who work in Nassau BOCES component districts and NY districts outside of Long Island.
