    86. Integrating Social-Emotional Learning to Improve Student Achievement (555)

    Program: 2025-2026 - School Climate and Culture

    Dates: 3/4/2026

    Even when educators believe in the value of social-emotional learning (SEL), SEL can feel like something "extra.” This session will ground educators in how SEL is integral to academic achievement (and success in the world at large), as well as New York State's Portrait of a Graduate. Then, we will explore strategies for embedding attention to social-emotional learning in academic instruction, and participants will apply their learning to plan for implementation.

    Participants will be able to:


    • Understand and articulate how social-emotional learning (SEL) is essential-not additional-to academic success and lifelong achievement, drawing connections to the New York State SEL Benchmarks, CASEL Core Competencies, and the New York State Portrait of a Graduate.


    • Identify and analyze how the integration of SEL within academic instruction supports student engagement, motivation, and achievement across content areas.


    • Explore and apply evidence-based strategies to embed SEL into instructional practices using tools such as the CASEL 3 Signature Practices and the CASEL Frame Coach Reflect framework.

    87. Integrating Social-Emotional Learning to Improve Student Achievement (RECOVS - March 2026)

    Program: RECOVS Mental Health Grant Year 2 (2025)

    Dates: 3/4/2026

    Even when educators believe in the value of social-emotional learning (SEL), SEL can feel like something "extra.” This session will ground educators in how SEL is integral to academic achievement (and success in the world at large). Then, we will explore strategies for embedding attention to social-emotional learning in academic instruction, and participants will apply their learning to plan for the 2025-26 school year.
    Participants will be able to:




    • Understand and articulate how social-emotional learning (SEL) is essential-not additional-to academic success and lifelong achievement, drawing connections to the New York State SEL Benchmarks, CASEL Core Competencies, and the New York State Portrait of a Graduate.




    • Identify and analyze how the integration of SEL within academic instruction supports student engagement, motivation, and achievement across content areas.




    • Explore and apply evidence-based strategies to embed SEL into instructional practices using tools such as the CASEL 3 Signature Practices and the CASEL Frame Coach Reflect framework.




    • Design actionable plans to integrate SEL intentionally into classroom instruction and school-wide practices for the 2025-26 school year, with a focus on sustainable impact and alignment with district and state priorities.

    Program: 2025-2026 - HV RBERN

    Audience: Teachers of multilingual learners in all content areas in grades 3-12, including bi-lingual and co-teaching pairs.

    Dates: 3/13/2026

    ClosedStarting Soon
    SYNTACTIC AWARENESS is a game-changer for multilingual learners, supporting their reading comprehension, written and oral expression, content acquisition and knowledge of the English language all at once! COMBINATIONS involves explicit instruction in syntactical (sentence-level) routines that develop all domains of academic literacy simultaneously. These multiplier strategies are especially powerful for English learners because they also teach how the English language works.

    Please join us for this hands-on, introductory workshop based on ideas from the book, Sentence Strategies for Multilingual Learners: Advancing Academic Literacy through Combinations (Routledge, 2023). You will learn how and why Combinations works to advance academic literacy for all students. You will leave with activities for immediate use that tap into and draw upon students' cultural and linguistic assets and that provide access to deep content learning and English language development concurrently.

    Participants should bring a device to access workshop materials.

Awardees apply for or are nominated by their peers for their outstanding accomplishments and innovation and are recognized by LHRIC leadership through a selection and review process.

    A message from John Spencer, our TLI Keynote for TELL

    Vintage Innovation:
    For years, we were taught a formula. Go to school, get good grades, graduate from a university, and climb the corporate ladder. But with the advent of generative AI, the ladder is gone and our students will instead navigate a complex maze. This is why the best way to prepare students for the future is to empower them in the present. In this keynote, we explore what it means to use vintage ideas, tools, and strategies in new and relevant ways. Here, we focus on innovation as a focus on "what is best" rather than "what is next." We focus on the skills, habits, and mindsets students will need as they navigate this unpredictable future - often the very competencies that align with your Profile of a Learner.
