Location: Nassau BOCES, Robert E. Lupinskie Center - One Merrick Avenue,Westbury, NY (Westbury, NY)

A rich and varied knowledge of words is the key to academic success in all subject areas. Yet, many teachers do not address vocabulary instruction effectively or with sufficient emphasis. In this workshop, teachers will learn engaging ways to teach generic academic vocabulary, subject-specific words, and words encountered in reading well-crafted literature. Amy draws upon principles of natural language acquisition to focus on student-friendly and teacher-friendly practices that lead to durable vocabulary growth. Included will be vocabulary for emotions and moods.

In today's classrooms, general and special education teachers are merged into co-taught spaces to teach students with and without disabilities. Oftentimes, they are not guided on how to co-teach with evidence-based practices.

We provide an interactive in-person workshop experience for co-teaching partners on the various co-teaching models and inclusive practices that challenge traditional notions of ability/disability.

Participants will leave this workshop with planned lessons, tools for effective communication and conflict management/resolution, assessing students, reflecting/evaluating your co-teaching partnership, etc.
