35. Culturally Responsive Education Forum - December dates

Program: Regional Partnership Center

Dates: 12/15/2020 to 12/22/2020

Meeting Times: Starting 12/15/2020 with multiple dates and times through 12/22/2020

For more than a century, education providers throughout the United States have strived and struggled to meet the diverse needs of American children and families. A complex system of biases and structural inequities is at play, deeply rooted in our country's history, culture, and institutions. This system of inequity - which routinely confers advantage and disadvantage based on linguistic background, gender, skin color, and other characteristics - must be clearly understood, directly challenged, and fundamentally transformed. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) has come to understand that the results we seek for all our children can never be fully achieved without incorporating an equity and inclusion lens in every facet of our work (see also NYS-ESSA Plan). Culturally responsive-sustaining (CR-S) education is a view of learning and human growth that values differences in culture and identity (e.g., race, social class, gender, language, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, ability) as strengths that should be included in teaching and learning. If you are looking for support on how to begin this work or have questions regarding the systems and practices that are already in place at your school, classroom, or district please join this one hour forum where you can bring your questions and or concerns about Equity and Culturally Responsive teaching practices and receive feedback from the RPC's Culturally Responsive Educator Specialist. Participants will receive one hour CTLE credit for attending. *Copy and paste the following link to complete a form letting me know the best possible time to hold the forum and to advise me of your specific needs/wants prior to attending. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScbFbtCjfcVfMi5zot3pIWDGjreUX8aEY1sGUqqSEhUT7J4LA/viewform?usp=sf_link Thank you for your interest in Equity and Culturally Responsive teaching.

Program: Educational Resources

Audience: Science Teachers for Grades K-5

Dates: 1/7/2021 to 1/19/2021

New
The shift in science pedagogy to focus on the three-dimensions sets the stage for a massive shift in the ways we would typically measure student learning. How can we assess students on their ability to ask questions or to Identify cause and effect relationships? How do we do this while also measuring content knowledge and transfer ability? Most importantly, how do we build all of this into engaging performance assessments that keep student curiosity alive? Together, we'll focus will be on understanding what the new assessments look like, how we can go about changing the structure of our assessments, and how these assessments can be built right into instruction. Finally, we'll focus on considerations for building these activities for the in-person, blended and virtual classroom environments.
