1. LILIE ONLINE: Asset-Based Instruction to Empower Students

Program: Model Schools

Dates: 6/12/2023 to 7/11/2023

This course will focus on how we can empower all students to be successful both academi¬cally 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 con¬nection. We will see a shift of mindset in focusing on student struggle but rather their personal strengths, abilities and knowledge. Additionally, specific strat¬egies 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.

Program: Model Schools

Dates: 10/1/2023 to 10/28/2023

Starting Soon

The image of a successful person can vary from one individual to the next; however, upon closer inspection those who succeed share a common quality: their mindset. Teachers will examine various ways to positively alter their own lives as a result of mindset, but equally important, how students can benefit from a growth mindset culture in the classroom. It is apparent that we want our students to develop and maintain a growth mindset; however, it is also necessary that we foster an awareness within them that allows them to respectfully question social injustices and determine ways to promote change. This course provides the foundation for understanding mindset, the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, the importance of the brain and how it works, specific ways to foster a growth mindset environment, the role of critical thinking, differentiation and critical consciousness and cultural responsiveness, ways to change mindsets, and strategies that promote a growth mindset. An educator can use this information to continue to develop challenging instruction that is also designed for students to recognize how potential and effort impact the outcome in any life situation. With the expectation for educators to consistently challenge students, many students are encountering new learning difficulties and experiencing feelings of frustration and failure.

Procedure: The teacher candidate will send the OG Teaching Fellow (OGTF) the proposed lesson plan 1 day before the observation. If there are any concerns about the lesson the OGTF will contact the teacher candidate prior to the observation. Then the observation will take place and a post observation conference will follow at which time the OGTF will provide the teacher candidate with feedback. During the first visit to the school site the OGTF will also note the classroom environment and types of manipulatives materials being used during the lessons. Each lesson should be approximately 40-60 minutes including time for summarizing the lesson and the explanation of "home practice”. After the 5 observation sessions and 50 hours are completed, the teacher candidate can apply online to the Orton Academy online and pay the fee of $100. The OGTF will assist the teacher candidate with the application process and will forward to the Academy the required letters of recommendation. Please note you had to have attended the 30 hour Certificate in Orton-Gillingham Training for Teaching Children and Adults Diagnosed with Dyslexia with Dr. Guastello in order to attend this training.

The Artificial Intelligence, CHAT GPT, arrived on our phones and laptops on November 30, 2022 creating a firestorm discussion around Artificial Intelligence in the humanities classrooms across the world.

Program: Professional Development Program

Audience: K-12 Educators; Building Administrators; Nurses; Social Workers; Counseling Staff

Dates: 10/17/2023

Mental health data from the 2022-2023 school year reflects significant increases in student anxiety and depression. Teachers and administrators across the country are reporting increasing numbers of students struggling with mental well-being. This workshop will share insight into anxiety and depression and equip participants with practical, effective, and safe strategies to powerfully support their students experiencing these conditions. For both anxiety and depression, this learning experience will address: 1) What is it? 2) What does it look like in the classroom? and; 3) What can educators do to support students while maintaining expectations for learning and behavior? For so many of our students, wellness is developed and strengthened in daily living, especially at school. However, educational professionals are understandably reluctant to venture into providing diagnosis or treatment. But there are numerous supports educators can provide students experiencing anxiety and depression that don't involve diagnosis or treatment. These "no harm” strategies are practical, efficient, and effective. Most important, they help students develop resilience and hope.

Program: Professional Development Program

Audience: K-12 Educational Leaders

While times change and technology marches forward, the principles of leadership are constant and stand the test of time. This training is based on the tested and true Laws of Leadership, Dr. John C. Maxwell shares in his bestselling and newly revised book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. John said, "Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less." With that in mind, Educators are among the most important leaders in the world, as they are influencing youth, during one of the most stressful and challenging times in history. Education has changed, and educational leadership at every level is needed to become the change agents our students need and deserve. These Laws are the foundation of leadership and once you apply them to your life, you will influence others on a much higher level and rise above the anxiety of change. The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership has been translated into 47 languages around the world, sold millions of copies, and has become the "leadership bible" for many high-level leaders.

88. Aligning Middle School Science Programs to the New York State Science Learning Standards Presented by Brian Vorwald

Program: Professional Development Program

Audience: Grade 6, 7, and 8 science educators and science leaders

Dates: 10/23/2023

Participants in this workshop will explore three-dimensional expectations for teaching and learning with NYSSLS. We will explore developing activities in which students make connections between the three dimensions of scientific knowledge to develop a coherent and scientifically based view of the world. Start with the complex phenomena (for science) or problems (for engineering) and let students ask questions, explore, and use the SEPs and CCCs to construct their own understandings of the disciplinary core ideas (content). This is a paradigm shift to students constructing their own understandings with much less memorization of science facts. Students learn by doing the SEPs, engaging in discourse, and building understandings of science main ideas. Included will be:
• The new expectations for curriculum, and instruction for teaching and learning;
• Immersion activities for participants to engage in sense-making using phenomenon-based learning;
• Principles of phenomena-based instruction and an introduction to storylines;
• Brief review of NYSSLS architecture and tools to transition to NYSSLS;
• Similarities and differences between NYSSLS and the Next Generation Science Standards;
• Format for 3D assessment tasks;
• Review of the grades 6-8 sample item clusters released by NYSED to see how they reflect NYSSLS expectations and how they compare to assessments based on the 1996 MST standards;
• Overview and discussion of the required NYSED Intermediate-Level Investigations for grades 6-8;
• Curriculum resources. **B.Y.O.D. (Bring Your Own Device) - Participants should bring a fully charged laptop, iPad, or tablet to download resources and access websites throughout the workshop.
