Location: Virtual

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. 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.

Location: Virtual

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.

Each and every day, the work of teaching children to read and write is both urgent and joyful. But those of us who lead this work-who guide and grow the teachers who guide and grow our readers and writers-need places to come together. 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.
