Teacher observation in a remote or hybrid learning environment challenges the supervisor to revise the typical set of "look fors" and gather data in non-traditional ways. This full-day remote workshop with an IDE Corp. Leadership Consultant will offer a look at what a hybrid learning environment looks like, and address what to look for in the variety of teachers' instructional design and implementation activities. Participants will consider the impact of hybrid learning on:

Planning

• evaluating teachers' approaches to addressing all students' needs
• evaluating teachers' plans for learning, practice, and application activities
• evaluating teachers' activities for academic rigor and engagement

Classroom Environment and Management

• evaluating teachers' online classroom setup
• evaluating teachers' use of protocols and norms to ensure student success
• evaluating teachers' attention to building students' social and emotional competencies
• evaluating teachers' purposeful integration of culturally responsive resources to ensure an equitable learning environment

Instruction and Assessment:

• observing teachers' large-group and small-group meetings
• evaluating teachers' videos
• evaluating teachers' feedback on student work
• evaluating teachers' formative and summative assessment approach
• observing teachers' in-school instruction, including the connection with at-home students
• supporting and observing teachers' strategies for home-school connections

Reflective Practice

• offering structures for and feedback on teachers' reflections and identification of needs

Participants will review their district's teacher evaluation tool and gather ideas for next steps through the lens of hybrid learning (anytime, anywhere) to begin to develop a set of "look fors” in teacher observation.

In a distance learning/hybrid world, it can be challenging to determine what and how much your students are learning, especially in mathematics. How do we know that they are able to solve problems independently? How do we know if we are preparing students for the state exams/Regents/next year's class? In this workshop, we acknowledge that some methods of assessment cannot directly be replicated in a distance learning/hybrid environment, and we explore alternative ways to assess student learning.

Now, more than ever, students need to be able to take as much ownership of their learning as possible. In this workshop, we will discuss different ways that we can create lessons, materials, and supports that will help students take ownership of their own learning, both at home and in the classroom.

Are you tasked with teaching lessons that provide opportunities for ALL students to make sense of phenomena or design solutions to problems? Are you unsure of what the coming year will bring? Will we be back together in the classroom or teaching and learning from a distance? Perhaps a blend of the two? In this four-part web seminar series, we will explore ways in which we can continue to give our students experience with relevant, intriguing phenomena to create the need to engage in science learning utilizing distance-learning tools and strategies. The focus of the series will be on both synchronous and asynchronous learning using the context of the NSTA Daily Do, high-quality science lessons made for distance and home learning OR face-to-face classroom learning. Walk away with ready-to-use ideas, lessons and strategies so you can be prepared for all scenarios in the 2020-21 school year. Participants will also gain access to a private community forum space to receive continued support from NSTA and to allow for a community exchange of distance-learning ideas, tools, and strategies. Find others who are teaching the same classes you teach and are faced with the same challenges for the upcoming school year.

By the end of the distance learning topic study, participants will be able to: Choose sensemaking tasks or improve existing tasks to engage ALL students in science learning from a distance.

Utilize a suite of tools to create a learning community where students virtually work together (synchronously or asynchronously)

Provide meaningful feedback to students effectively and efficiently.

This workshop will focus on the unique and atypical issues that students deal with in districts that have a very diverse culture as well as a high concentration of families that live well below the poverty line. These districts also contain a large number of students that have either a parent incarcerated, or live with a guardian other than a biological parent. The effects of incarceration on children of the incarcerated is something that few educators are trained in and this workshop specifically addresses techniques and methods to teach through these issues. There will be specific tools discussed and developed that can be used to motivate these students.

The first half of the training will present a bio-psycho-social analysis of school shooters. This will cover body-related issues and the concept of damaged masculinity, three psychological types of perpetrators (psychopathic, psychotic, and traumatized), and the many social failures and influences that contribute to their motivation for violence. This will be a case-based approach, presenting specific perpetrators to illustrate the concepts.

The second half will review threat assessment, leakage, and attack-related behavior as they relate to school shooters. Examples from actual school shootings will be utilized to demonstrate the range of warning signs that are often seen leading up to an attack. In addition, student writing samples will be presented to illustrate the difference between leakage among peers and the warning signs that often show up in students' homework assignments.

Dr. Peter Langman is a psychologist whose research on school shooters has received international recognition. His book, Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters, was named an Outstanding Academic Title.

Preparing our students for the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) requires a paradigm shift in our science classrooms. As difficult as it has been, remote teaching may actually help us make this transition easier. High stakes, content-driven, paper and pencil tests simply don't work in a remote classroom. Assessments must be authentic, interesting and measure student performance in one of the science and engineering practices. In this workshop Paul Andersen will provide exemplar performance assessments and give you the tools required build assessments of your own.
