    Dates: 2/23/2023

    Artists Civic Responsibility panel with exhibiting artists followed by a private tour of When We All Stand curator with Alexandria Giordano with exhibiting artists & private tour with curator Art reveals the details of humanity. It illustrates the desires, needs, and challenges of society. It can be a powerful ally in the fight for social justice by giving a voice to the unheard, visibility to those unseen and can offer solutions by making connections. Artists as activists create work that helps us to better see each other. Theirs is a unique responsibility that presents a clear way to understand our diverse world and history. In 1962, Civil Rights activist, James Baldwin, penned the essay The Creative Process, in which he explained artists' civic participation and influence. He wrote, "The precise role of the artist, then, is to illuminate darkness, blaze roads through that vast forest, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.” Baldwin passed the torch to artists of the 21st century who continue to work with this effort in mind.

    Audience: PEACE project participants only

    Dates: 3/28/2023

    In 1994 the United States Department of the Interior listed the society's building on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, over 20,000 historical artifacts are cared for in the museum. Permanent and changing exhibitions are used to interpret important themes in Suffolk County history. The artifact collections are broad in nature and are particularly strong in the areas of General History, Decorative Arts, Fine and Folk Arts, Costumes and Textiles, and Ethnographic and Natural History artifacts. With few exceptions, these collections have been built through the generosity of generations of Suffolk County residents, who have seen the value of preserving our material culture - and that tradition continues today. Since the society began collecting during the 19th century, when it was the only historical agency in Suffolk County, its core collections have come from all over the county, and many remarkable and unusual artifacts have been donated. Since its founding, the purpose of the Suffolk County Historical Society has remained essentially the same: to collect, preserve and interpret the ongoing history of Suffolk County and its people. To fulfill these purposes the society operates a history museum, a library and archives, and offers educational programs and events. The society houses a unique, ever-growing collection of artifacts, reflecting more than three centuries of history. PEACE Out Professional Learning Community workshops facilitate instructional strategies through collegial conversations, content-based support materials, and collaborative curriculum planning to expand instructional practices. Educators collaborate with community partners through activities designed to improve pedagogical skills, build core knowledge, and generate instructional ideas that may be implemented through delivery of content in the classroom.

    Program: Model Schools

    Dates: 4/1/2023 to 4/28/2023

    Starting Today
    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.

    Program: Model Schools

    Dates: 4/1/2023 to 4/28/2023

Mindfulness practices enhances learning, helps students to better understand themselves, recognize and identify their emotions, improves their social behavior, promotes healthy development and helps them function more effectively as individuals. If we teach children how to become aware of their feelings, minds and bodies, students will be more apt to show empathy to others, make responsible decisions and develop positive relationships. Through mindfulness, we will lay the foundation for a better way to learn in a culturally responsive and loving context.

    In math education, there is one curriculum for the totality of students to experience and learn. Within that curriculum occurs a sequence of instruction outlined usually in inequitable goals. Writing a curriculum would mean providing your teachers with:
    • deconstructed NYS standards. Deconstructed NYS standards will allow teachers to plan with differentiation in mind and guarantee all students have an entry point, distance learning teaching targets, and lesson plans for teachers to utilize during remote teaching and learning,
    • culturally relevant implementation and planning strategies to maintain culturally relevant pedagogy and connect math learning to career-based experiences, collaborative and instructional learning tools to manage positive classroom interactions and main cross-cultural collective knowledge building amongst students, supplemental teaching goals and plans for special education and new English language learners,
    • common standards-based assignments and student surveys to serve as baseline data for growth, proficiency, and mastery, and
    • qualified pacing guide that supports the mathematical shift of focusing on heavily tested concepts and embedding supported concepts. After this workshop, your teachers can implement a Just, Equitable, and Differentiated Curriculum that focuses on heavily tested concepts with an entry point for every learner to grow, become proficient and achieve mastery. *For those districts who subscribe to the ESBOCES Comprehensive Curriculum Development Service - FREE for a maximum of 1 participant.
