Stolen Focus by Johann Hari
Join school librarian colleagues in a discussion of Johann Hari's thought-provoking book. This book explores human attention, and the crisis of diminishing attention spans in today's society.
From the book's cover: "We think our inability to focus is a personal failure to summon enough willpower to ignore our devices. The truth is even more disturbing: Our focus has been stolen by powerful external foces that have left us uniquely vulnerable to corporations determined to raid our attention for profit." Our book study will focus on how that affects student learning in our schools.

This book study will be virtual, with a blend of both synchronous & asynchronous discussion and activities. More details will follow.
Each participant will receive a copy of the book. Please register by September 25 so you can receive your book by the start date.

53. Co-teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs)

Program: Capital District RBE-RN

Audience: Co-teachers and teams that work with English Language Learners

Dates: 12/15/2025

This full-day professional learning workshop is designed for co-teachers of English language learners (ELLs). The session focuses on building strong, collaborative partnerships and equipping teaching teams with the tools they need to maximize student success. Participants will begin by exploring strategies for establishing and sustaining effective co-teaching relationships, including communication habits, role clarity, and approaches for shared planning and reflection. The workshop will then dive into the seven co-teaching models for working with ELLs, highlighting when and how each model can be applied to different classroom contexts. Through interactive practice, teams will analyze the strengths and challenges of each model and consider which approaches best fit their students' needs. To ensure these strategies translate into practice, the workshop will also include facilitated co-planning time for ENL and content-area co-teachers. During this hands-on portion, teams will apply the day's learning to upcoming units or lessons, with structured guidance and feedback from the facilitator. Educators will also learn how to design student-friendly content and language objectives that make learning transparent, accessible, and rigorous for multilingual learners. Participants will practice crafting objectives that align with grade-level standards while supporting language development across listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Co-teaching partners will walk away with a shared understanding of effective collaboration, a repertoire of instructional models, and practical strategies for making content and language goals clear and achievable for every learner.
