20. Let's Talk: Facilitating Critical Conversations about Race and Other Topics for Administrators
Program: Center for Educational Equity and Social Justice
Dates: 1/7/2022

Educators in all settings play a crucial role in helping students talk openly about the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of social inequality and discrimination, and research show us that not talking about race and racism reinforces racist systems and behaviors. Children as young as two years old use race to reason about people's behaviors. Learning how to communicate about such topics as white privilege, police violence, economic inequality and mass incarceration requires practice, and facilitating difficult conversations with children of all ages demands courage and skill. This workshop offers methods for continual self-reflection and use-tomorrow strategies to plan discussions and to facilitate critical conversations with young people.
Participants will:
● Identify strategies and resources to create a positive and respectful learning environment where critical conversations can take place;
● Reflect on personal assumptions and biases and recognize their impact on classroom practice;
● Develop skills and confidence for engaging in and facilitating conversations about race and other critical topics.

Program: Center for Sustainability and Climate Education
Audience: Educators K-12
Dates: 3/3/2022 to 3/10/2022

Are you looking for a way to inspire the next generation of designers, engineers, artists, planners, public policymakers, and citizens?

Biomimicry is a rapidly growing discipline that offers educators an interdisciplinary platform to connect subjects to one another and to the real world beyond classroom walls. It supports the goals of NYSSLS and STEAM and offers solution-based thinking while inspiring young people with a sense of the possible. It weaves together science, art and technology and offers a compelling model of relevancy because biomimicry will be part of many of the jobs of the future. Biomimicry also provides a plethora of literature for linking ELA to science and the Reading Standards for Literature.

The essential question we will address is "How can learning from nature change our thinking and our world?" The workshop will focus on:

• Principles of Biomimicry

• Biomimicry Case Studies and product application

• The Omega Center for Sustainability (a local biomimicry systems model)

• Structure and function in nature and design

• The Biomimicry Design Process

Participants will also participate in multiple activities that can be replicated in their classroom including a mini Design Challenge. They will be introduced to AskNature and the resources available through the BEN (Biomimicry Educators Network). Time will be set aside to talk about the Biomimicry Youth Design Challenge which is open to middle, high and college students.

80. Equity Book Study Series: Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity: The Keys to Successful Equity Implementation by Floyd Cobb and John Krownapple
Program: Center for Educational Equity and Social Justice
Audience: all educators
Dates: 4/20/2022 to 6/8/2022
New

While efforts to achieve equity in education are prominent in school districts across this country, the effective implementation that results in meaningful change remains elusive. Even with access to compelling theories and approaches such as multicultural education, culturally responsive teaching, culturally relevant instruction, culturally sustaining pedagogy, schools still struggle to implement equitable change that reshapes the academic experiences of students marginalized by the prevailing history, culture, and traditions in public education. Instead of getting it right with equity implementation, many schools and districts remain trapped in a cycle of equity dysfunction. In Belonging through a Culture of Dignity, Cobb and Krownapple argue that the cause of these struggles are largely based on the failure to consider the foundational elements upon which educational equity is based, belonging and dignity.

Zoom meetings will be held to cover the text according to the following timeline:
April 20: Welcome and Norming
April 27: Chapters 1, 2, and 3
May 4: Chapters 4 and 5

81. Powerful Practices in Science: Diagramming Systems for Deeper Understanding
Program: Educational Resources
Audience: K-12 Science Educators
Dates: 4/20/2022
New

Implementing the new NYS Science Learning Standards requires teachers to build student mastery of the Science and Engineering Practices (SEP) with intention. While some of these practices have already saturated science curriculum and pedagogy years ago, others require us to innovate within our classroom in order to help students build their skills. The Powerful Practices in Science series is an opportunity for teachers to learn and experience a specific, research-proven instructional strategy that can be implemented in their classroom immediately. Each session focuses on one practice intended to directly build student confidence with one SEP.

In this session we will be focusing on how students can use the System Diagramming process to make sense of complex inter-related variables. This is all in-service of improving students skill with the SEP of Developing and Using Models. Participants will receive an overview to System Diagramming, discuss best practices, experience a sample lesson that explores ecological relationships and have time to discuss how to implement it as soon as the next day.
