Fred Rogers once said, "Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning, but for children, play IS serious learning." Play is a powerful and important activity. It has a natural and positive influence on children's social, physical, emotional and cognitive development. We don't need to pit play against academics! What we need to teach may not always be a choice, but HOW we teach can be. Play is its own method of instruction! In this full-day workshop, we will look at the neurological link between play and learning for young children, and how we can use intentionally planned, guided, and purposeful play-based learning experiences with them in order to foster learning opportunities that will help our students to best meet the rigorous academic learning standards set for them.

Participants will have an hour lunch break and are asked to bring or obtain lunch on their own.

Please join us for a group study of the text, "Make Just One Change" by Dan Rothstein and Liz Santana. Knowing how to ask questions is foundational for lifelong learning. The authors introduce a protocol, the Question Formulation, which is a step-by-step strategy to teach students how to form and ask their own questions. The research indicates that students who do so are more engaged with their learning. The cover comment by Mike Rose provides a good summary: "This book begins with the seemingly simple request to get students to ask their own questions, but at heart, it's a book about creating a classroom alive with dialogue, inquiry, and respect for students' minds."

You will be provided a copy of the text in advance that is yours to keep. The study will be across 3 weeks incorporating reading, responses, and practice within your own educational setting. Expected response dates are: January 14, 21 and 28, 2020. Within these dates, the work is self-paced.

A strong virtual presence is extremely important for school libraries. While many are familiar with how to use website builders such as Google Sites, Weebly, and Wix, librarians have taken a variety of different approaches with the language used and the manner in which information is organized on these websites. At this workshop, Jesi Buell, Instructional Design and Web Librarian and Associate Professor at Colgate University, will present the concept of "design thinking," along with research on how users interact with library websites to help inform librarians on how to present information on their websites. Ways to incorporate accessibility features following ADA guidelines also will be discussed. At the end of the workshop, participants will be given some time to use their new knowledge under Buell's guidance. Those that want to stay for extended work on their websites may do so. (Co-sponsored by Central NY School Librarians.)

The purpose of the collaborative workshop is to facilitate deeper understanding of the work done in the Social Studies Leadership meetings while providing the space and time necessary for K-6 teachers and instructional leaders to apply what they have learned. Teachers may choose to work within their grade level, building, district, or with teachers from other districts. The expectation is that attendees will use the time to create instruction, curriculum materials, or other products to bring back to and use in their district. Districts may choose to send teachers for the morning only, but the room will be available for the whole day to allow districts to use that space for their work.

This training will provide an opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from across Central New York who are also using STAR.
